1. The Clarity model calculates what a family can afford to pay based on the data submitted.

2. The School’s Financial Aid Officer receives the results from Clarity and determines what, if any, adjustments need to be made to the data submitted (for example, a recent change to a family’s financial condition) in conjunction with the school’s financial aid consultant.

3. In some cases, the Financial Aid officer may need additional documentation from the family. Examples of this could include any of the following:
- Personal net worth statement
- Copy of tenancy/mortgage agreement
- Copies of any current loan agreements, including credit card statements
- Proof of any other debts and other general costs
- W-2s for step-parents/grandparents (if they fund the child’s education)
- Copies of the most recent investment account statements
- Financial data for any business that a family may have an ownership stake in

4. Financial Aid decisions will usually be made within about two weeks if the application submitted by the family is complete (longer if the application is incomplete). Aid decisions will be made on a rolling basis throughout the enrollment cycle depending on the availability of financial aid.

5. Financial aid must be applied for every school year.
