Financial aid

Cardigan offers a generous need-based financial aid program, awarding over $3 million to more than 30% of students for the 2025-2026 academic year. Financial aid is determined by Clarity or School and Student Services (SSS) and is intended to support families who otherwise would not be able to meet the cost of attending.
