What to Know About Financial Aid

St. Nicholas School provides financial aid to families on the basis of documented financial need. The school uses the services of the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) in Randolph, MA, as a part of the school’s determination of a family’s level of need.

Please be assured that both the application and allocation process is done with strict regard for confidentiality. Also, the admissions process is conducted without consideration of financial need.
