Financial Assistance
Khan Lab School is dedicated to enrolling and supporting a school community that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. One way we make this a reality is with a need-based financial assistance program that helps qualifying families with tuition and other school-related expenses.
We use an organization called Student & School Services (SSS) to process the applications we ask interested families to complete for us. SSS also offers an abundance of advice about how to decide whether to apply and how to respond to the questions that the application contains.

Applications are required for each year of attendance.
