Tuition and Financial Aid

Visit the School & Student Services (SSS) website (https://sssandtadsfa.force.com/familyportal) and complete your PFS (Parents' Financial Statement). The Carey School also requires that you upload copies of your most recently filed 1040 and W2 tax forms and supporting tax schedules. Business returns and schedules are also required if you own a business. Finally, all applicants for financial aid must fill out the Carey Financial Aid Supplemental Form.

We use School & Student Services (SSS) to help determine what a family is capable of contributing toward tuition. Families complete the SSS application form online. The application form is then forwarded to The Carey School and provides the school with a general recommendation on a family’s ability to pay for education. The Financial Aid Committee uses the assessment as a guide in allocating financial aid awards. Other factors are also used when determining the financial need of a family, such as the number of children in tuition-charging schools, all sources of income, savings, investments, and assets.

If a student is offered enrollment at Carey, their family will receive information about a financial aid award which is based on their financial circumstances, along with their letter of acceptance.

The Carey School requires families receiving aid to re-apply each year. If your financial status changes, you may be awarded more or less aid in any given year.

The deadline for submitting your financial aid application for the 2023-24 academic year is January 8, 2023 for returning families and February 3, 2023 for new families. Funds are allocated first to current families who meet the deadlines and have demonstrated need. Next, funds are distributed to new families who have demonstrated need and have been accepted to The Carey School.

All of our Financial Aid is allocated based on need. Thus, there is no automatic discount for any student's tuition.

No.  An application for financial aid does not affect a student’s admission selection/decision. The Financial Aid Committee operates separately from the admission selection process.

No.  The Carey School does not have an income limit for Financial Aid since every family’s situation differs. We evaluate the need of each family based on their application and make our decisions accordingly.

The Carey School considers all available sources of financial support when making financial aid decisions. Both the custodial and non-custodial parents are required to complete a financial aid application. The award process cannot be completed without full information from both parents.

Yes. Families may choose from three payment plans - 1 Payment, 2 Payments, or 8 Payments.

We have eliminated most of our additional fees outside of tuition.  We have additional funds available for families receiving financial aid to support their use of extended care and lunch program.

The Carey School - Financial Aid Family Scenarios
Financial Aid is determined based on an annual review process taking into consideration each family's complete financial profile. Income is only one of the factors that go into determining a family's expected tuition contribution (EFC). Factors such as family size, income, expenses, assets, other tuition obligations, and extenuating circumstances are considered.
