Tuition and Financial Aid
Your Most Valuable Investment
Your child's education is one of the most valuable investments you make. Its worth is measured not only in your child's academic success and college matriculation. It's also measured in in the value of extraordinary personal attention your child receives, encouragement to innovate, and being immersed in a diverse and inclusive community.
Financial Aid Philosophy
The St. Stephen's Episcopal School Mission places great value on diversity and inclusion. We respect the potential and dignity of all people, and our program is committed to the development of the whole person - mind, body and spirit. To this end, St. Stephen’s awards need and merit-based financial assistance to students from across the socioeconomic spectrum. Financial-aid grants support our efforts to enroll a diverse and well-rounded student body from Austin, the U.S. and around the world.
Affordability Workshops
On campus and virtual affordability workshops will be offered. Topics include completing the Clarity financial assistance application, payment plans, merit boarding scholarships and general questions about the process. This is a parents only session.
