Experience Video:



Johnny Spillane, Class of 1999 -- Olympic Triple Silver Medalist in a 2010 Olympic Moment.  "Lowell Whiteman School made it possible for me to do what I've done.  If you get an opportunity to go to a school like this, take it!  I recognized what I had here and it really made it possible for me to get where I am."

Affording LWS

At the Lowell Whiteman School we believe everyone who truly has a passion for experiencing our one-of-a-kind program should have access to it.  The base day student tuition for 2010-11 is $18,200; base boarding student tuition is $33,900.  Students participating in the Foreign Travel program have an additional $3,600 obligation, while student-winter athletes paricipating with the SSWSC pay the club's fees.  A 10% deposit ensures a student's enrollment, and then the rest of the tuition is payable all at once in July, or in plans of 2 to 3 installments, with a 2.5% administrative fee.  The Foreign Travel tuition must be collected by November 1.

The school is dedicated to supporting qualified students through a need-based financial aid program.  In the past decade, 30-to-35% of the school’s students have received some level of financial aid.  The Lowell Whiteman School seeks to enroll students who will benefit from, and contribute to, the Lowell Whiteman School Experience. To that end, need-based financial aid awards range from relatively modest to nearly the full tuition.  While financial aid funds are necessarily limited, the Lowell Whiteman School endeavors to make an LWS education feasible for all accepted students.

The complete Lowell Whiteman School Financial Aid Policy is available for download.

Application for financial aid is managed through School and Student Services (SSS).   Financial aid applications can be completed at http://sss.nais.org.   Lowell Whiteman's school code is 8188.

If you have further questions about Financial Aid and the Lowell Whiteman School, please contact Derek Svennungsen (just say Derek!) at admissions@lws.edu or 970.879.1350 x 15.
