Tuition and Financial Aid

Harpeth Hall offers a transformative education to girls and young women grades 5-12.
Harpeth Hall seeks to enroll intellectually curious and community-minded students regardless of a family's ability to pay. Seventeen percent of the student body will receive over $2.2 million in need-based financial aid for the 2022-2023 school year, with an average of 96% demonstrated need met. The average grant is $18,892. Harpeth Hall offers need-based financial aid and is need-blind for admission. Admission decisions are made separately from financial aid determinations.

The Olivia Fund
This fund was established anonymously in 2001 by a Harpeth Hall parent in honor of his young daughter, who was in her second year at the school. Its purpose is to help students and their families with expenses that are important to an inclusive school experience but are not covered in financial aid grants for tuition, such as class trips, books, and various extracurricular activities.
The Adeline Fund
This fund was established anonymously in 2017 by Harpeth Hall parents in honor of their daughter to provide funding for girls who demonstrate financial need so that they may participate fully in the life of the school beyond the classroom.
