Affording a St. Martin’s Education

St. Martin’s believes that a quality education should be accessible to all families.  Our tuition assistance program enables students who might not otherwise have access to an independent school education to benefit from our academic programs. 

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.

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 $65 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. 

St. Martin's does accept 529 plan payments of up to $10,000 per calendar year per student for tuition. Please consult your financial advisor for specific information related to 529 plans and tuition.
