Payment options

We have a number of payment options for paying for board. The 2023 academic year residential contract runs for 37 weeks.  All first payments are due before the resident moves in.

The residential contract at Helen Lowry is between the Hall and the resident, not between the Hall and parents or guardians. This means invoices and reminders for payment will be sent directly to the resident, not parents or guardians. It is the resident's responsibility to ensure invoices are forwarded if necessary and the account payer is aware of the payment deadlines.
