Tuition, Access & Affordability

The Smartest Investment in Your Life: Your Child

We understand that cost matters and that each family presents its own unique circumstances. At Kingswood Oxford, our Financial Assistance Office will work with you to help make a transformative education affordable, through financial assistance and scholarships. In late 2017, legislation for 529 plans changed. Starting in 2018, families are now allowed to withdraw up to $10,000 from qualified 529 plans to use towards private, secondary school tuition for their children.

As always, we encourage you to seek the advice of your financial advisor when making any investment or tax-related decisions.
