Happy to answer questions about Deerfield Academy

Hi All,
I am a 2nd year junior at Deerfield. Threads like this were quite helpful for me during my application process, so this is my way of giving forward.

Hey there
is there any international students you know of (in school or even in your class) receivingdecent amount of FA?Thanks!

Hey! I’m not her but I have a brazilan friend who studied at Deerfield with 100% scholarship that included books,flights and even an allowence.

so it came like FA package just like the uni? that’s kinda nice

I believe so, I’m not sure though.

Hi, Deerfields financial aid is very generous.
If you were to apply as an international student, they would assess your parents finances and determine how much you can reasonably afford to pay.

I do not think there are limitations on international student FA, as Deerfield is need blind.

Wait Deerfield is need blind? I thought it wasn’t since on its homepage it gives a confusing message and on other sites it says its not need blind. Along with that I asked my friends at Deerfield and they all said Deerfield is need aware.

My understanding was that Deerfield is need blind based on what I have heard.
I’m not the best person to ask because I did not apply for FA.
So if other sources say Deerfield is need aware then Deerfield is need aware.

From Deerfield 's site.Not need blind.

Will applying for financial aid affect my admission to Deerfield?

Possibly. Deerfield has a very generous financial aid budget. However, it is limited, and therefore we cannot always accept all admissible financial aid applicants.
