What does it mean that Andover has a “need blind” admission initiative?
With a “need blind” admission program, Andover will extend its resources to offer admission to every qualified young person regardless of their families’ ability to pay the cost of an Andover education and we are proud to say that we meet 100 percent of each admitted student’s demonstrated financial need. Andover’s commitment to “youth from every quarter” is truly representative of its historic effort to provide a world-class education to the leaders of tomorrow regardless of their families’ economic circumstances. Andover actively works to identify those students who are best able to contribute to and benefit from the Phillips Academy experience. The “need blind” initiative will offer broader opportunities in recruiting and access. In particular, the “need blind” initiative will help to reduce a commonly held perception that the cost of an Andover education is prohibitive. The “sticker shock” of a private school education often discourages middle income families from applying. Our hop
