Tabor Academy


Question Posted Sunday November 18 2007, 4:53 pm

I need to go to Tabor Academy (Marion, MA). I have the smarts and everything I need to get into the school. Except for the funds. I do not come from an Ivy League school background. My mom's a real estate agent, and my dad is a small developer. They don't make more than $80,000 a year. Tabor costs 26 grand, and my parents just can't afford it. They want me to go to the local Catholic school, but I'm not Catholic and I really want to go to an elite school. There's financial aid available, but I don't know how much it gives for help. Would I have to repay it afterwards? I'm so disappointed that I wouldn't get into the school of my choice just because my parents can't afford it. Are there scholarships or grants availble for high schools? Many thanks to all advice.

You do not have to pay financial aid back. You could look into scholarship oppurtunities (there are many things, use your talents. art, writing, sports, etc. many organizations have scholarships for such things.)

I looked up the website and it says 28 percent of students are on financial aid.

Under the Financial section:
$3,185,400 total scholarship, assistance, Elizabeth Taber awards


Do some research, usually schools will say how much money they have alotted for aid. You could also look into taking out a loan. Just do some research and be positive.

Good Luck!

yes, there are scholarships for high schools, but i'm not sure which ones apply to tabor. and if you get financial aid you would not need to pay it back... just contact the school to find them. tabor is a really cool school, my friend goes there :) beautiful campus and such.

good luck to you!
