Tuition assistance grants are based on demonstrated financial need and reduce the amount of tuition paid by a parent or guardian.
To be considered for a tuition assistance grant, parents must complete an online application through Clarity to keep parent information confidential and process applications. The application fee is $60. Only one application fee is charged per family regardless of the number of students or schools for which you are applying.
Clarity uses the income and asset information in the financial aid application itself to assess the family situation and automatically applies a waiver if the family qualifies. Qualifying families will simply bypass the payment screen when their application is complete. For a family of four, the income threshold is around $43,000. In addition to the income and threshold, a family also has to have below $25,000 in assets for the auto waiver to kick in.
Clarity is hosting Family Application webinars on the following dates:

A link to our Tuition Assistance Application can be found on your student’s checklist in our Admissions Portal after you have submitted an application. Tuition Assistance Awards are communicated when students receive their admissions notification.
Tuition assistance grants awarded to students may vary from year to year during their enrollment. An application to confirm level of need will be required for each year a student is enrolled. In most circumstances, grants will remain at a level reflecting a family’s demonstrated need.
Returning families who wish to be considered for tuition assistance for the 2025-26 school year will be notified via our weekly and monthly emails.
