    Application Process

    Financial Aid applications must be submitted through our partner Clarity Tuition. Based on the financial information your family provides, Clarity will recommend what families can contribute towards their educational expenses. Our Financial Aid Committee uses Clarity as a guide to help us make fair and equitable financial aid decisions. 

    Families may begin working on financial aid applications for the upcoming 2026-2027 academic year on October 1, 2025. Here is a link to Clarity's step-by- step family application guide.
