Each year The Peck School designates an amount of financial aid monies to be awarded to families. Requests for financial aid are made at the time of application. Parents will then receive a Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) in the Fall to be completed and mailed directly to School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) by January 15, 2009. SSS will review your information and suggest to us what your family's ability to pay for your child's tuition should be.
Parents will need to submit a copy of their latest Form1040 Federal Tax Return and all copies of W-2 forms directly to the School by February 13, 2009.
Where appropriate, a non-custodial parent who is separated or divorced or parents who have never married will need to complete a PFS form and submit their 1040 and W-2 forms directly to The School by February 13, 2009.
Any parent wishing to offer additional information in support of their application may write a letter to the Director of Admissions and Financial Aid by February 13, 2009.
The completed Financial Aid application of all accepted and returning students will be reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee (comprised of the Director of Financial Aid, The Head of School and the Business Manager) at the annual March meeting. Each application for assistance is reviewed separately from the Admissions committee. Parents will be notified of the Committee's decision immediately following that meeting.
Applying for financial aid will not affect an applicant's chances for admission. Financial aid is granted on a need-based basis. Families will need to reapply for financial aid each year so grants may be adjusted if the family's financial situation changes.. The Peck School does not discriminate on the basis of religion, race, or national origin in the administration of its admissions policies and financial aid programs.
