At Kimball Union Academy, our financial aid program plays a critical role in making a KUA education accessible to exceptional students from all backgrounds. By supporting our financial aid program, you help shape a stronger, more inclusive KUA community.

• Each year, KUA provides more than $6 million in need-based financial aid
• About 45% of our students receive financial aid, with the average grant covering 45% of tuition.
