Financial Aid Funds

For many families, affording an independent school education is a sacrifice, though one that can be an important investment in their child’s future. Severn awards nearly $3 million in financial aid annually to students from both low and middle-income families. These funds ensure that families with financial need have access to the benefits of a Severn education.
