At Foote, applying for financial aid does put you in a more competitive applicant group. After the Admissions Committee determines which children are admissible, the Financial Aid Committee convenes to allocate funds to those admissible families who have applied for financial aid. Foote School has a limited budget and although we will provide aid to a family at the full level of their demonstrated need, we cannot provide aid to all families who apply. These families will be placed on a wait list.
