We believe all qualified students should have access to the unique educational opportunities at Blake, and our need-based financial assistance program helps make Blake affordable.
Blake believes that to be an exceptional school, we must enroll students with diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, including talented and motivated students from families who cannot afford to pay full tuition at Blake. We believe our diversity enriches every member of the Blake school community. To that end, Blake is committed to making sure tuition is affordable for qualified students through a need-based financial assistance program that offers more than $8.5 million in support each year to more than 300 students.
See Tuition & Fees, below, for details about tuition and fees within each division. Visit our Financial Assistance page for information about financial assistance.
