Tuition and Affordability
[What’s special about Blake?] The potential of the student body, the enthusiasm of the parent association, and the competency of the faculty, deans, counselors, administrators and other staff. Of course [also] the academic offerings, the athletic, leadership and service opportunities, and the beautiful campuses.
Parent
Blake is committed to making its education affordable to families from a wide economic range. Enrolling a talented and diverse student body — bright children with a variety of experiences and backgrounds — is essential to our mission to provide a well-rounded education. To ensure socio-economic diversity is represented, cost should not and must not be a deterrent to our prospective families. That’s why we provide one of the largest need-based financial aid programs ($3.7 million a year) in the Midwest.
From need-based aid to payment plans, there are several options available to you to fit Blake into your budget. Please do not assume that Blake is beyond your reach. We are eager to work with you to identify the payment solution that works best for your family.
It’s important to note that all of our financial aid awards are based on demonstrated need — the calculated difference between the amount a family can be expected to contribute to the cost of the student’s education and the cost of annual tuition, books and fees.
Please do not underestimate the value of investing in an outstanding education. We welcome the opportunity to join in a financial partnership that makes this belief a reality. Please call the Admissions Office and ask to speak to our Director of Financial Aid today at 952-988-3420.
