Transfer Applicants

FOR FALL 2024 ENTRY: 

• Fairfield Prep defines a Transfer Applicant as a ninth or tenth grade student currently attending a school where he could continue but who instead wishes to come to Fairfield Prep for his tenth grade or eleventh grade.

• (Note that if you are currently in ninth grade in a school that ends in ninth grade you should apply under the Applicant for Sophomore Matriculation track).

• Although a Transfer Applicant is welcome to apply for financial aid, be advised that financial aid is generally not available for transfer applicants, as available monies are disbursed first to continuing students, incoming freshmen and applicants for sophomore matriculation. Therefore, a transfer applicant should plan to pay for his first year's tuition at Prep in its entirety.

The following is the admission application process timetable for Transfer Applicants for fall 2024 entry:
