Tuition assistance can only be determined by completing a financial aid application with Simple Tuition Solutions, a third-party service. After examining each family situation, a decision is made based on eligibility formulas for tuition assistance.

The online financial aid application will be provided to prospective and current families. In order to fill out the application, you will need a complete copy of this year’s or last year’s IRS Form 1040 and current W-2’s for each contributing household member.

The financial aid application is made available to families in February and should be received before June 1 in order for tuition assistance to be applied to tuition payment plans that begin in July. Financial aid applications received after June 1 may result in tuition assistance only being applied to remaining tuition payments.
