INDEXED TUITION

Indexed tuition is the tuition affordability model at MSN, with the purpose of increasing economic diversity in the school community. Inclusion of families across the full range of the economic spectrum broadens perspectives and reinforces MSN’s core principles of equity, peace, and justice. Economic diversity enriches our community and promotes a diverse human experience for all of our families.   

HOW TO APPLY

Every family is expected to contribute to the cost of tuition and fees, thereby supporting the community to the extent family circumstances permit. 

To help us objectively assess what a family is able to contribute to education expenses, a family wishing to be considered for indexed tuition will need to complete an application through FACTS. Based on the information provided in that application, a committee will determine the appropriate indexed tuition level for the family.

Indexed tuition levels are determined by a family’s entire financial profile including income, assets, expenses, family size, and unusual situations. We also take into consideration our school’s policies and the resources available for returning students as well as applicant families.

We accept applications on a rolling basis starting January 1st. First round consideration goes to all returning students and newly enrolling siblings. All new applicants are considered in the second round. Depending on the level of need in a particular year, the pool of remaining funds may be limited by the second round.
