Investing in a Cranbrook Education

At Cranbrook Schools, we believe a transformative education should be accessible to talented students from a wide range of backgrounds. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community and to investing in students through a robust financial aid program that helps broaden access to a Cranbrook education.

Through our financial aid program and additional support resources, we partner with families to make a Cranbrook education attainable. Admission and financial aid decisions are made separately and communicated simultaneously, ensuring each applicant is evaluated on their individual merits. Our goal is to help every student take part in all areas of campus life at Cranbrook.

Financial Aid

Please note: we do not offer financial aid grants to families in our ½ day programs. Most family awards at the lower and middle schools can cover up to 50% of tuition costs.
