Financial Aid for Unexpected Circumstances
We understand that families may experience unforeseen financial challenges after enrollment agreements and financial aid awards have been finalized in January. Life circumstances can change suddenly, resulting in unexpected financial hardship at any time. We encourage families facing unexpected financial difficulties after January to reach out to us if the need arises. We may be able to offer support if budgetary constraints allow it. We ask that you complete an application in SSS by NAIS (see instructions above), where you can provide a detailed narrative of your current situation along with your financial documentation. Our Board will consider these requests during their upcoming monthly meeting and respond as promptly as possible. To begin this process, please contact Annie Crowder.
