Please address applications to:
Admissions
Lowell Whiteman School

Steamboat Springs, CO 80487
A complete application consists of the following:
- The downloadable 2008 application form including the Section for Parents and the Student Essay.
- Three recommendations from teachers and counselors, requested by the school with information provided by the applicant. In order to expedite the application, families may supply the recommenders with the appropriate forms. Both the personal recommendation form and the teacher recommendation form are front and back and are available here for download.

We strongly encourage all applicants visit campus if at all possible. Typically, the Applicant Interview is completed during a campus visit, and prospective students also have an opportunity to visit classes. If circumstances preclude an in-person interview, the Admissions Office will do its best to make other arrangements.
Admissions decisions for the 2008-2009 academic year will be mailed by April 1, 2008.
Testing
The Lowell Whiteman School does not require either Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) or Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE) scores as part of a complete application, but we will consider standardized test scores as part of the student application if submitted.
Financial Aid
Applicants for need-based financial aid are encouraged to complete the Parent Financial Statement (PFS) by March 15. The PFS can be found online at https://sss.ets.org/pfsHome.do. For a complete financial aid policy, please contact the admissions office.
