Tuition and Financial Aid

At the Medical Sciences Semester (MSS), we believe that to prepare students for the real world, our community should mirror the real world with a diverse student body that is representative of all socio-economic backgrounds. To achieve this goal, MSS seeks to enroll the most qualified and compelling students whose families understand and embrace the Purpose, Promise, and Principles of Hawken School and MSS regardless of socio-economic background through a need-based Flexible Tuition Program. MSS encourages all families to apply for Flexible Tuition if they think they may qualify.
 
We encourage families to request further information about Flexible Tuition from the director of Flexible Tuition at siobhan.martin@hawken.edu if they have concerns about affordability.
