Payments are due 60% by July 1 and 40% by December 1. For families who wish to extend tuition payments over a period of time, there are tuition payment plans.

Eligibility for Portsmouth Abbey School grants is based on demonstrated financial need, academic merit and availability of financial aid funds. These funds are derived from income generated by gifts and bequests made specifically for this purpose, as well as from the operating income. This year 35% of our students were awarded $3,000,000 in some form of financial aid.
