The Financial Aid Committee reviews the report provided by Clarity. Names are redacted to assure confidentiality. For two-household families, each parent enters data separately into Clarity and Clarity combines the data for a complete report. (Financial data for separated or divorced parents is never shared with the other parent.) The expected family contribution for tuition is based on the Clarity recommendation, school policy, and the availability of funds. The family’s expected contribution will then be subtracted from total tuition to determine the financial award.
Epiphany School’s financial aid policy considers a family’s complete financial situation—assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. To ensure the process is objective, all applications are subjected to the same allowable expense limits and asset and income protections.
Enrolled families must apply for financial aid every year. In general, if your family's financial situation doesn't change significantly, you should continue to receive a similar level of aid year over year. However, one-time changes in a year, such as a large bonus, gift, or other windfall are significant changes and would generally result in a lower award for the year compared to the prior year. Additionally, updates to school policy and availability of funding may affect the award amount from year to year.
