 JHCS is committed to educating a geographically, economically, and culturally diverse student body. For the 2006-2007 school year, approximately 52% of the JHCS student body received financial aid awards totaling approximately $200,000. The financial aid application process is the means to allocate financial aid in as fair a manner as possible. Admissions decisions at JHCS are made separately from financial aid decisions, which are made annually and are based on a family's demonstrated need and available school funds. Applications for aid must be made each year. In addition to financial aid awards, JHCS offers a limited number of merit scholarships: Merit Scholarship for Achievement in Writing One renewable scholarship will be awarded annually to a student for excellence in writing. The scholarship is designed to reward students whose passion for writing is reflected in their academic achievement. Applicants entering the 9th, 10th, or 11th grade must meet the following criteria: • Demonstrate academic distinction in writing; • Complete the JHCS application process and be accepted to the school; • Take the JHCS writing test; • Submit a graded writing sample from his/her current school. The writing exam must be taken at Jackson Hole Community School by March 1st. To schedule an exam, please contact the Director of Admissions at 307-733-5427 or at thardy@jhcommunityschool.org. The scholarship will be awarded by March 15th. Merit Scholarship for Achievement in Math One renewable scholarship will be awarded annually to a student for excellence in math.

An admissions candidate’s full credentials are evaluated, with special consideration for his/her academic and leadership skills and potential. No additional application materials are necessary to receive a merit scholarship. |

Independent school education is a choice for families. Both JHCS and individual families will make significant financial sacrifices to support this choice. Most families will adjust their spending priorities, maximize both parents' earnings, and carefully manage assets to afford tuition. Even then, some families will need financial assistance regardless of how carefully they control their finances. A family will need to be able to pay approximately $1,250 per month for ten months to afford tuition. If after reviewing your family finances you are not able to afford the monthly amount, your family should consider applying for aid. Families interested in financial aid must submit the JHCS Financial Aid Form a copy of their federal income taxes to JHCS Admissions no later than March 1. Please contact JHCS at (307)733-5427 or at if you would like to receive a financial aid application. |
