Financial Aid
Each year, funds are allocated for tuition reduction. These funds come from foundations, individual donors and other sources.  The generous gifts to the Annual Fund by alumni and friends are a significant part of this effort. Accordingly, financial aid is available to qualified students who demonstrate fiscal need. If you would like to attend Kinhaven, but are concerned about the tuition, we invite you to apply for financial aid. Please contact the Bethlehem office with any questions or for more information.
