Financial Aid
If you believe Moorestown Friends School is the right place for your family, we want to help you be a part of our community!
With a commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive community, MFS offers over $3.3 million of financial aid to qualified students in grades 1 to grade 12. Applying for financial aid in no way affects the admission decision. Financial aid is awarded on the basis of financial need and almost one-third of our students receive some kind of assistance. The average income of a family receiving aid is about $150,000; the average financial aid award is about $13,500.

Awarding Procedures
The total amount of financial aid granted each year is determined by the School Committee which is the governing body of Moorestown Friends School.
General Information
- Determination of Tuition Aid — Grants are awarded by the Financial Aid Committee. It is composed of the Director of Enrollment Management, the Associate Director of Admissions and Financial Aid, and the Director of Finance and Operations, in consultation with the Head of School and the Division Directors. All information submitted in support of such applications is strictly confidential.
- Basis for Grants — A family’s financial need is the primary consideration in determining awards.

Beginning in Grade 9, the first $1,000 awarded is in the form of a loan with the remainder of the award in the form of a grant. Grants are applied only to tuition costs and all awards are made on the basis of yearly application.
