Applications for tuition assistance (financial aid) open December 15, and the priority deadline is January 15th. Applications received after January 15th are considered on a rolling basis, depending on available funds. 

​

Wye River Upper School uses a third-party application service, Clarity, to process aid applications. Clarity provides a need-based financial aid analysis. Results are reviewed by Wye River Upper School’s Financial Aid Committee and communicated to families. 

​

Tuition assistance is currently reserved for high school students and is unavailable to students entering 8th grade. 

There are precedents for tax deductions in the event of a medically prescribed need for the type of education we provide. Families may benefit from tax deductions as WRUS’s tuition and any related educational costs, including transportation, are considered medical expenses, which can be combined with all other household medical expenses for tax purposes. For information on claiming tuition as a medical deduction, please refer to the IRS Code CCH Section 2019.0127, as well as IRS Ruling 69-607at 2CB40.  Wye River Upper School cannot provide tax advice.  This situation should be discussed with your tax advisor.
