What is available?

At Epsilon Camp, we would like every admitted student to be able to attend, regardless of financial circumstances. Epsilon Camp offers need-based full and partial financial aid awards. These awards can cover up to the full cost of tuition, room, and board for one student and one accompanying parent or guardian.

Financial aid does not typically cover travel costs or optional weekend field trips. However, we may be able to offer limited additional support for travel in cases of significant need. This is not guaranteed and is considered separately from standard aid.

Who is eligible?

All admitted students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible to apply for financial aid. Aid is based on gross household income and individual family circumstances. Applications for financial aid are reviewed separately from admissions and have no effect on admission decisions.

Students who have been admitted to Epsilon Camp are eligible to receive assistance based upon gross income of up to $175,000. Gross income can be found on IRS Form 1040, line 9. We encourage all families with financial constraints to apply.

How much does the financial aid cover? 

The chart below gives an approximation of the expected contribution from each U.S. family based on annual income. Please be aware that financial aid awards vary depending on each family’s particular situation and are based on demonstrated financial need. Therefore, the figures below are only meant to give an estimate of the award you would receive.

$160,000 - $175,000   Modest award (up to 25% of cost)
Above $175,000   Not eligible for regular aid; may request exception if special circumstances exist
