The Laboratory Schools are home to the youngest members of the University of Chicago's academic community. We ignite and nurture an enduring spirit of scholarship, curiosity, creativity, and confidence. We value learning experientially, exhibiting kindness, and honoring diversity.
We understand that financial emergencies arise. Therefore, while Lab’s financial aid deadline has passed, families may apply for emergency aid at any time, and regardless of the time of year. To qualify for emergency aid, families must present proof of a recent and unexpected change in financial circumstances that took place after Lab’s financial aid deadline. Please email financialaid@ucls.uchicago.edu and put “Emergency Aid” in the subject line. In the body of the email, please explain your emergency situation and attach any available documentation.
