Tuition Assistance
St. Martin's understands that funding the cost of an independent school is a challenge for many families. Our tuition assistance program is designed to make a St. Martin’s education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. To assist us in determining a family’s financial need, we’ve teamed up with Clarity to help assess a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application, which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly, so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.
Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as we require you to upload additional tax information.
The deadlines for completing the tuition assistance program application, including relevant supplemental documents, is Dec. 1 for current families and February 15 for prospective parents.
If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at support@claritytuition.com or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.
