St. Thomas’s Day School’s need-based financial aid program is designed to make a St. Thomas’s education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. In order to standardize the process of evaluating each applicant’s need, St. Thomas’s Day School uses a third party called Clarity.
A family’s eligibility for financial aid is determined through careful and thorough analysis of the information provided on the Clarity Application along with information provided from a family’s federal tax returns. Clarity and St. Thomas’s financial aid methodology will provide a suggested family contribution dollar amount and St. Thomas’s financial aid committee will then consider a portion of a family’s discretionary income to be available to support private education tuition. It is important to note that all St. Thomas’s families contribute funds towards tuition.
Clarity has established a secure, confidential and user friendly platform that provides details on how to submit all of the required financial aid documents to a centralized location instead of to multiple schools. Once an online application is submitted, all families will be able to track the status of their financial aid application.
