Saint Ann's School Parents  Financial Aid

• Financial Aid Application Process
  Admissions-related financial aid enquiries should be directed to the Director of Admissions 718-522-1660 x313. Information is available on this website by going to the Admissions page and clicking on financial aid.
  
  For current students, annual financial aid applications for the following academic year are received and reviewed by the school each fall. Applications for aid are accepted beginning in October. The application process is described below and the deadline by which all applications must be completed and submitted is December 1. The school’s Director of Finance and Administration (718-522-1660 x214) is available to talk to or meet with families about financial aid at any time.
  
  The School’s aid process is needs-based and all applications for aid are treated in the strictest confidence. To qualify, your child may be either a student who was admitted as an aid recipient or have attended Saint Ann’s for three years. In the event that your family’s circumstances have changed during the first three years of your child’s attendance, aid may also be available. Aid awards are valid for one year only. All families receiving financial aid are required to re-apply annually.
  
  There are three required stages for all Financial Aid applications. First, please contact the Director of Finance and Administration by email or letter with a short description of your family’s circumstances. If your child currently receives aid, you need only confirm that you wish to re-apply. This submission is the formal application for aid.
  
  Second, each family needs to complete a Financial Aid Application form provided by School and Student Services (the SSS form). You can find the form in the parents section of the National Association of Independent Schools’ website. This website usually begins accepting applications for the following academic year on November 1st. The school has access to all SSS forms completed by families electronically. If you have questions concerning your use of the website or if you cannot access the website and wish to provide a written SSS application, please contact ecruz@saintannsny.org (718-522-1660 x216) in the Finance Office. Supporting data from the family’s tax returns—the first two pages of the prior year’s IRS return 1040—and any appropriate documentation concerning business ownership or consulting contracts should be sent to the school’s Finance Office.
  
  Third, once the SSS form has been electronically submitted and all other data sent to the School, parents should call the Finance Office at 718-522-1660 x214 to confirm that all the necessary documents have been received. All first time applicants need to contact the Finance Office and schedule a meeting before December 1st. In January, families are asked to send the School a copy of the W-2 or 1099 forms received from employers. Aid awards are conditional on receiving this information. The School notifies families of all grant awards in February.
