Affording a JMSG Education

Julia Morgan School for Girls is committed to creating a school community that is accessible to everyone. To achieve this goal, the school offers flexible tuition to students whose families apply for this option. The JMSG Flexible Tuition Program is open to all families who participate in the admission process. Families submit information about their financial resources, and the school uses standard criteria and NAIS best practices to determine flexible tuition amounts.

In order to determine a family's eligibility for flexible tuition in a fair and equitable manner, JMSG requires all applicants to complete the Parents Financial Statement (PFS) administered by a third party, School and Student Services (SSS), for each year of matriculation. Despite our dedication to helping those who demonstrate need, there are always more students who qualify than we can accept. JMSG's Flexible Tuition Program supports approximately 32% of our students. Understanding that a JMSG education is a significant investment in their child's future, the flexible tuition committee reviews, evaluates, and determines a fair assessment of a family's ability to afford a JMSG education for their child.

  • Computation of Family Contribution

    SSS is a third-party need analysis service that relies on economic factors to determining the eligibility of families. Once a family has applied for Flexible Tuition, SSS generates a Report of Family Contribution (RFC). JMSG then applies a Bay Area Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) to determine a family's ability to pay. Families with preschool-aged children or extraordinary situation should make the committee aware of their circumstances in the additional notes section of the PFS. If more than one child in a family attends a tuition-charging institution, JMSG strongly recommends families apply for aid at each of the institutions their children attend. 
  • Other Considerations

    Business
    All parents who own a business will be required to upload all current business tax returns. Business owners will also be asked to furnish income statements, balance sheets, and any other information relevant to the business. 

    Student Assets/ Trusts/ College Funds/Inheritance
    Savings, investments, trust funds, 529 funds, or other assets in a student’s name or held for a student for any reason, or restricted in any way, are considered available resources for use in funding a student’s education at JMSG.
