Financial Aid Commitment

In May 1951, Country Day announced plans to offer financial aid to at least 20 percent of its students. Eddie Dillard, chairman of the Board of Trustees, said at the time, “This is the step we have been working toward for several years.”

Since that time, the school has remained committed to admitting talented and motivated students, regardless of family resources. Financial assistance is granted to families who are in an emergency situation and need assistance for one year, along with families who need assistance for multiple years. Support comes from the Country Day Fund, grants, endowment gifts and income, and the general operating budget.

Approximately, 21 percent of Country Day students receive financial assistance.
