We partner with School and Student Services (SSS) in our financial aid process. You will complete the SSS financial aid application (also referred to as the Parents’ Financial Statement or PFS) within the SSS platform to apply for financial aid at our school. By submitting an SSS application, you’re granting SSS permission to analyze your financial information. Using their unique methodology, they estimate the amount you can contribute to school expenses and forward that estimate to the appropriate schools. It’s one form, for one fee, for any number of applicant children, for any number of schools.
Find the SSS application online via the SSS Family Portal:

How to Complete the SSS Financial Aid Application
Create your Family Portal account using your email address and a password. If you applied for financial aid last year, log in as a Returning Family using the same email address and password. Complete an application for the 2026–2027 Academic Year, applying for the amount of assistance you need after factoring in your anticipated tax credit amount. You may log out at any time and return later to finish your application. After updating your household information and selecting your school, you will move to the tax portion of the application. At this stage, we recommend selecting “Easy Apply,” which securely pulls your tax information directly from the IRS. Once all sections are completed and you click “Submit Application,” your application cannot be withdrawn from the SSS system. The $60 application fee is nonrefundable, and submitted applications cannot be changed or withdrawn. For further information review the Family IRS Consent Guide.
Next Steps
After you pay for and submit your application, you will need to verify if School and Student Services (SSS) requires additional documentation you will need to upload these required documents by their deadlines as part of your application process. School and Student Services (SSS) will communicate our financial aid decision to you directly. To make our decision, we use the information from the SSS application as a starting point, and we also consider our school policies, practices, and available budget.
Plan Ahead and Know Your Deadlines
The SSS application is a comprehensive application that will take some time to complete. Give yourself the time you need by not waiting until the deadline approaches. It’s important to note the difference between the deadlines for admission and financial
aid applications. If you do not have your 2025 tax return, complete the application using your most recent tax return. When the requested tax forms arrive, such as W2s or 1040s, log back in and upload them (if required) by the deadline. We also recommend that you review the wide range of materials that SSS has put together to help families with their financial aid process. They are found at http://www.solutionsbysss.com/.
