Financial Aid
Howe uses a variety of approaches to financial aid. Most of the scholarship funds are used
to help deserving cadets who have proven financial need. To assist as many students as
possible, we provide small scholarships to many families, as opposed to granting
large awards to only a limited number of students. The average award
is about $4,000. About 40 percent of our
students receive some form of financial aid.
Financial aid is awarded on a year-to-year basis. To apply
for financial aid, the student's parent(s) must submit an Application for Financial Assistance along
with a copy of their most recent Federal Income Tax Form 1040. Financial aid
awards
include work-aid, music and academic scholarships; legacy and sibling discounts are also
available.
A student will not be awarded financial aid until the
he/she is accepted to the school.
To obtain more information about financial aid, including personal loan information and an
Application for Financial Assistance, call our

The Junior Ring Ceremony
 One
of Howe
Military Schools' tradition is the Junior Ring Ceremony. The origin
of this tradition is obscured, but the graduating cadets and the junior
class meet in Saint James Chapel. During the services overseen by the
rector, the Senior Class presents the Junior Class with their class rings
and charges them with the status of continuing the customs and traditions
of Howe Military School. The junior class, after accepting the charge,
prepares the Senior Class for their commencement by turning their ring to
show completion of secondary education.
The faculty and staff of Howe Military School are committed to providing a
structured environment in which learning can and does occur; and with the
support of parents, alumni, friends, and the dedicated effort of the
students themselves, to produce the leaders of the next generation.
The foundation of our mission is our mottos: "FIDES ET HONOR" (Faith and
Honor) and "ECCLESIAE ET PATRIAE" (God and Country)
*Disclaimer:
Howe Military School is a traditional, college preparatory, secondary boarding
school.
Though classes are small, our school is not staffed or equipped to help
students who need any kind of learning accommodations.
This includes needs such as resource room, special tutoring, extra
test-taking time, or staff to accompany students.
Howe cannot accept students with learning disabilities or severe
emotional diagnoses.
The programs, staff, or therapeutic counselors necessary to assist
students with special needs are not available at Howe.
