Financial Aid
The Gow School invites all parents to apply for financial aid. The school currently works with School and Student Services for Financial Aid (SSS). This organization provides an analysis of a family's finances and determines a suggested contribution for educational expenses. Families in need may apply through SSS for a Parent's Financial Statement (PFS) as a first step in our financial aid process.
