Tuition Support
We know that enrolling in a tuition-based school is a significant financial commitment and represents a major investment in your child’s future. We encourage all families to consider UCLA Lab School regardless of your financial situation. In fact, one in three families at our school receives need-based tuition support. We encourage you to apply.
Applying for Tuition Support
The UCLA Lab School Tuition Support program is designed to make a Lab School education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Lab School is proud to use the Clarity Financial Aid platform to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts. The application is mobile-friendly and fully translated into Spanish.
The Tuition Support/Financial Aid Committee reviews all applications confidentially and allocates funding to eligible families. While we encourage applications from both new and returning families who feel the full cost of tuition may be prohibitive, please note that not all applicants will qualify for support.
UCLA Lab School determines tuition on an annual basis. To make decisions in a fair and equitable manner, Lab School requires that prospective and returning families complete an application for tuition support/financial aid annually.
