Applying for Tuition Assistance<br />

<strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> offers aid in the form of financial aid grants to families who demonstrate financial need. We<br />

partner with School and Student Services by NAIS (SSS) in our financial aid process. The amount of each<br />

grant varies, depending on the family’s need and our available resources. Families are required to file for<br />

financial aid on an annual basis. Aid awards are typically similar from one year to the next unless a family’s<br />

financial circumstances have changed. Budgetary constraints generally preclude significant increases to<br />

awards and severely limit the School’s ability to offer awards to families who have not received financial aid<br />

in prior years. <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> is unable to make an award until both the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS)<br />

and required tax documents are received. <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> adheres to NAIS Principles of Good Practice that<br />

protect the confidentiality of financial information provided by families. Applications and tax forms will be<br />

reviewed and retained on a yearly basis.<br />

DEADLINES VARY. See the submission deadlines below to make sure you get your application completed<br />

on time. Late filing may jeopardize an award. Only online applications are accepted. Contact the<br />

<strong>Admission</strong> Office if you need access to a computer, or are unable to afford the filing fee of $48.00. If<br />

parents are divorced or separated, both parents must participate in the financial aid process by each<br />

submitting a separate application directly to SSS – incomplete files will not be evaluated for assistance.<br />

The tuition assistance application is available through School and Student Services at sss.nais.org.<br />
