Latin School of Chicago

Financial Aid at Latin As a school community, we are committed to making a Latin education possible for families from socioeconomically diverse backgrounds. Latin School is proud to be able to award over $4 million in need-based aid annually. The Financial Aid Office strives to assist families for whom the cost of independent school tuition is the only barrier to attendance. Latin has a need-sensitive financial aid policy. This means that all admitted students demonstrating need will be funded, but the number of students needing financial aid who can be admitted is restricted based on our budget.
