Financial Aid
Children are accepted to the school without regard for ability to pay tuition.
Aidan offers need-based financial aid for students in all programs. The goals of our Financial Aid program are:
- To attract a socio-economically diverse student body, and
- To provide tuition assistance to families in the school who require it and meet the criteria.
Aidan Montessori School’s financial aid program is designed to make an Aidan education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds.
The School is proud to use the Clarity Application to determine a
family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.
Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as Aidan may require you to upload additional tax documentation as it becomes available into the new year.
The deadline for completing the financial aid application including relevant supplemental documents is:
- December 13, 2024 for current families
- January 31, 2025 for new incoming families
Financial Aid decisions are communicated to current families at the time re-enrollment contracts are made available in January. Admission decisions and Financial Aid notifications are sent to new families in March.
