Applying for financial aid?
Either answer is a good answer — this just points your journey down the right path.
The one-minute cost estimator
Six simple questions, a realistic range in about a minute — no logins, no lengthy forms, no commitment.
This is an illustrative estimate. For your family's actual award, Storm King uses the Clarity financial aid platform as our guide — one secure application that helps us determine need-based aid, decided together with admission.
Got my number — continue to the application ↓The application
One online application, transcripts, two recommendations. Testing optional. Complete your file by January 15 for first consideration and the full financial-aid pool.
Timelines vary — especially for families abroad — so we continue to review strong applications after the priority date as space permits.

Decision day 🎉
Priority applicants hear first: your admission decision and your financial-aid award arrive together. If it's a yes — and we hope it is — your enrollment packet and your counselor's congratulations call follow the same week.
Move-in day
Airport pickup from JFK or Newark, your name on the door, your advisor at the curb, and 180 new classmates who'll know your name by Friday. Welcome to the mountain.
✈ international pickup includedMeet the people who'll walk it with you.
You won't be a file number here. From your first hello, a real person — one of these three — knows your name and your questions the whole way up the mountain.
