Financial Aid

At IPS, we pride ourselves in being a truly diverse school community. This includes economic diversity. Each year, a portion of our budget goes towards financial aid for those families who could not otherwise enroll their children in our programs.

Families are required to apply for financial aid annually by completing the Application for Financial Aid (PDF) and submitting it along with copies of their:

• 2022 Form 1040 Income Tax Return
• 2023 Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement
• Employees of the United Nations, Secretariat, embassies, missions or consulates should provide a letter of employment indicating their annual salary.

For returning students, all documents must be submitted on or before January 31, 2024. For new students, all documents must be submitted on or before February 16, 2024.

Please submit documentation electronically to [email protected] or on paper to:

Financial Aid Committee
The International Preschools
345 E 86th St
New York NY 10028-4716

If your child is offered admission, you will be informed of the financial aid grant at the time of your acceptance.
