Financial Aid

At St. Martin’s, we understand that funding the cost of an independent school is a challenge to many families. Our financial aid program enables students who might not otherwise have access to an independent school education to benefit from the academic programs found here.

 

St. Martin’s offers financial aid to accepted students based on their family’s demonstrated need, which is the difference between the school’s tuition and what the family can reasonably contribute. In order to determine family contribution, St. Martin’s uses the analysis of School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS). All applicants for financial aid are required to file a Parents Financial Statement (PFS) with the School and Student Service for Financial Aid. SSS processes the information that families have provided regarding income, assets, debts, and equity and forwards to our school a Report of Family Contribution (RFC), which we use as a guideline for awarding aid.

 

In addition to filing a PFS with the School and Student Service for Financial Aid, St. Martin’s requires each family who plans to apply for financial aid to fill out a basic St. Martin's application that must be turned into the Admission office. The St. Martin's application may be downloaded from the box on this page.

The SSS school code for St. Martin's is 2879.
