Tuition Assistance

St. John’s uses the Clarity Application to evaluate a family’s overall financial circumstances. Information related to income, assets, expenses, and debts are collected to determine demonstrated financial need and help establish an appropriate level of tuition assistance.

The Clarity Application requires federal tax returns (Form 1040), W-2 forms, and IRS tax transcript verification. These materials help St. John’s evaluate financial circumstances using complete and verified information.

St. John’s admission decisions are separate from tuition assistance considerations. The School's admission policy is based on the student’s ability to succeed and contribute to the School community, not the ability to pay tuition.

Yes. Clarity charges a nonrefundable $65 application fee when you submit your tuition assistance application. Once completed, you may share your application with other participating Clarity schools at no additional charge.

The Clarity Application is designed to streamline the tuition assistance process and can be completed online using a computer, phone, or tablet. If questions arise, applicants can access help through Clarity's support resources.

St. John’s considers each applicant's demonstrated financial need based on the financial information submitted through Clarity. The School implements a holistic approach to evaluate  financial circumstances and award tuition assistance based on demonstrated need and available School funds.

Tuition assistance is based on demonstrated financial need. If a family’s financial circumstances change, the amount of assistance may be affected. Families with questions about their individual circumstances should contact the School directly.

Families who are parishioners in good standing with St. John’s Episcopal Church may be eligible for additional assistance opportunities. Please contact Lani Jones to learn more about support available to church members.
