Can I Afford Exeter?

Josh, senior

An Exeter education is free to any admitted student whose family income is $75,000 or less. The school meets all demonstrated financial aid needs of its admitted students. Learn more about financial aid…

“Exeter has so much more diversity, the extent of the school was mind-blowing. It took a little time to adjust—I feel like I’m still adjusting. It’s not an environment one can easily slip into. It’s truly phenomenal, and it takes time to truly appreciate it on the level one should.”

Student Short Takes


"I have on occasion been very glad that I can go to Mr. Mahoney, Exeter’s director of financial aid, and explain that I really need help with this piece of equipment for sports or that book for class. They’re there to back me up if I find that there’s something that’s beyond my budget."

"When I finally had to pick one school, it came down to financial aid and that Exeter felt most comfortable to me."

"I was used to 30 kids in a room and the teacher dictating for seven hours a day. I’m still getting used to Harkness."

"Every day we do something different. There hasn’t been a single day that we’ve done the same thing."

"Once I get it, I feel really good. We all bring something to the table."
