As our mission states in its first sentence, Buckley takes seriously its commitment to equity and inclusion. This means supporting families who may not be able to afford a Buckley education.

This policy entitles subscribers to a partial refund of tuition and fees when a student who has attended at least 14 consecutive days of school is unable to attend classes for medical reasons, a non-medical withdrawal, or dismissal. Each year, parents must confirm during the online re-enrollment process whether or not they wish to elect this coverage.

Financial Assistance Process and Dates
Buckley is proud to use Clarity to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that the family shares in the application, which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
- To get started with your financial assistance application, please go to Clarity and create an account.
- 完成申请一般不超过 30 分钟，而且该申请对移动设备友好，因此您可以随时随地完成申请。您还可以保存进度，随时返回。
- Instead of scanning, uploading, or mailing prior year tax documents, families simply complete an e-signature form and we pull their verified tax documents directly from the IRS Form 8508.
- 在申请结束时，您需要支付 60 美元的提交费，而且您可以免费与其他接受 Clarity Application 的学校分享您的申请。只需使用申请表中的下拉菜单选择这些学校即可。
- The priority deadline for completing the financial assistance application including relevant supplemental documents is January 3, 2025, for all new families. (Applications will still be received beyond the deadline, but priority consideration is given based on the date of submission. Submitting the Clarity application by the priority deadline will ensure you are receiving every consideration for assistance.)
If your application is submitted by the priority deadline listed on this page, you will be notified of your financial assistance grant along with the Acceptance Letter & Enrollment Agreement for 2025-2026. You will be notified separately in the decision letter if you are not eligible or did not receive financial assistance.
Late applications may not be considered until the end of the awards process or availability of funds. If the tuition assistance budget has been exhausted by that time, you may be placed on a financial assistance wait pool. Admittance for your student applicant may be impacted by the access and availability of funds.
