List of 11 items.

• Are financial aid applications confidential?

  Yes. 麻豆网 believes aid applications and awards are confidential. We expect families to support this confidentiality by not discussing aid applications or awards with anyone who is not on the Financial Aid Committee. Parents should also explain the importance of maintaining this confidentiality to their children.

• What if my tax return for last year is not available by the deadline?

  In this case, please be sure to submit your family’s most recent W-2 forms and a signed copy of your most recently filed federal income tax and corresponding schedules. Submit your return for last year as soon as it is available. Please note that all awards are based on last year’s return and are required submissions to complete the financial aid process. Keep in mind that if you use estimated return information, 麻豆网 still requires the actual prior year's returns when available.

• Do I need to fill out one Clarity application for each student I am applying for?

  No, only one Clarity application is needed per family, even if you have more than one child applying.

• How do families with divorced or separated parents apply for financial aid?

  Both biological parents must complete financial aid application through Clarity. In the case of remarried parents, step-parents must be included in the financial aid assessment as well.

• How is financial aid determined?

  麻豆网 partners with Clarity to help us make fair and objective financial decisions. This third-party assessment uses a family’s financial information to provide an estimate of the dollar amount that each family can contribute towards a 麻豆网 education. After reviewing financial aid applications and tax documentation, the Financial Aid Committee convenes to assess family need in conjunction with available institutional resources.

• Where does financial aid funding come from?

  All financial aid awards are made solely by 麻豆网. The funds are generated through the school’s operating budget as well as from scholarships funded by the generous gifts of 麻豆网 alumni, parents, and friends.

• Does applying for financial aid hurt my child's chances of being accepted?

  Due to our institutional resources, we are unable to meet every families’ stated need. While an application will not hurt your child’s chances of being accepted, we will communicate to families who apply when we are not able to provide the funds they demonstrate the need for. These families are placed in a Financial Aid Wait Pool on March 10th and can remain there in case additional aid becomes available. 

• Do all accepted applicants receive financial aid?

  No. Only families who apply for aid with their application to 麻豆网 are reviewed for aid. Additionally, some families who apply do not qualify under our need-based aid system.

• Does 麻豆网 offer payment plans?

  Yes, there are three payment plans outlined in the “Payment Options” tab of the Tuition menu.

• Are financial aid awards for future years guaranteed?

  No. Families must re-apply for financial aid each year and awards are subject to change in response to family finances. A continuous level of family qualification is necessary to retain financial aid awards.

• I live outside the United States and Canada. Can I apply for financial aid?

  Yes, along with the student's application, all families must fill out the Clarity application to the best of their ability including the Non-US Tax Filer Verification.
