FINANCIAL AID OVERVIEW
WIS is strongly committed to maintaining economic diversity within our community.
Grants based on financial need are awarded to children whose families cannot otherwise afford tuition and fees. WIS uses Clarity to process our financial aid applications. On average 16% of the current students receive some amount of financial aid. Grant amounts vary depending on need, although all families pay some portion of tuition and fees. Aid is available to approximately 15 newly-admitted students per year. Any family entering WIS as full pay will remain full pay unless a significant change in circumstances can be established or a sibling enrolls in a new tuition-charging institution.
When determining if an applicant is qualified to attend WIS, all Admissions Committees operate need-blind. However, because the financial need of qualified applicants is greater than the available funds, the Director of Admissions and Financial Aid must be need-sensitive when making the final admissions decisions. WIS does maintain a Wait Pool for students who are qualified for admission and qualified for aid, but for whom funds are currently unavailable.
