Financial Support
Student Financial Aid
The Wendy B. Speir Student Financial Aid Fund provides financial assistance to qualifying families each year and awards about $500,000 annually. Applications for financial aid are accepted through Clarity with all inquiries and applications held in the strictest confidence. Awards are based on a family’s demonstrated need in Clarity as determined by factors like income, expenses, and debt, as well as Hill’s total financial aid budget, the applicant pool need, school policies and procedures, and other additional information acquired during the financial aid process.
