Financial Aid
Landon offers a need-based financial aid program to ensure that the cost of attendance does not preclude access to our unparalleled academic experience.
Financial aid is applied toward tuition which includes lunch and significant portions of field trips, books, and most fees. Financial aid recipients also receive discounts on before- and after-school supervision and Landon-sponsored bus transportation.
Landon uses the Clarity Application for financial aid. Families already receiving financial aid must re-apply every year via Clarity to account for any change in a family's financial need. Current Landon families must apply for aid by December 31, 2024. Families new to Landon have a February 1, 2025 deadline to submit the Clarity application.
Families in the admissions application process must complete both the admissions application via Ravenna and the financial aid application via Clarity. Visit our Financial Aid FAQ page to learn how to apply for financial aid.
Eligibility for Financial Aid
Wondering if your family might qualify for financial aid? Here are helpful Landon statistics from financial aid applicants for the 2024-2025 school year:
- Almost $6 million in financial aid grants have been awarded.
- 26% of Landon students receive tuition grants ranging from 5% to 99% of tuition costs
- The average grant is $32,412, representing 62% of the Upper School tuition
- 79% of families receiving financial aid earn a gross income of $350,000 or less, many with multiple children enrolled in independent schools or college.
- The average household income of families receiving FA is $223,223.
Included in the calculation of a family’s need are household income, assets, liabilities, family size, and the number of children in tuition-charging schools. Because the interplay of these variables is complex, Landon cannot determine eligibility without a full application. Hence, Landon encourages all families considering the need for financial aid to apply.
Landon helped me shape my worldview. I was able to tap into so many parts of what inform my identity. I could be a football player, an a capella singer, and a newspaper writer. That is the Landon man, a man of honor and a culturally aware and active global citizen.
