I'm trying to figure out the costs for Choate, and tuition is a big factor. Does anyone know what the annual tuition comes out to or if there are any scholarships available?
Choate Rosemary Hall, a prestigious private boarding school, typically has tuition rates that vary depending on whether you're planning to attend as a day student or a boarding student. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the day student tuition costs approximately $54,410, while the boarding tuition is around $70,370.
It's important to bear in mind, however, that these numbers do not include auxiliary expenses such as books, supplies, or optional off-campus trips, which can add to the overall cost.
Regarding financial aid, Choate does have a financial aid program and is committed to making a Choate education affordable for families who can demonstrate need. They rely primarily on the Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) provided by the School and Student Services (SSS) supplemented by federal tax returns. Financial aid packages offered are a combination of grants (which do not need to be repaid) and a work-study job on campus.
However, Choate doesn't usually offer merit-based scholarships. Their aid program is entirely need-based. Be sure to check their financial aid policies on the official Choate website or reach out directly to their financial aid office if you believe you may be eligible for need-based aid.
