How to Apply for Financial Aid

Starting on November 1, 2012, families can go to http://sss.nais.org to electronically upload their documents to SSS. Please click here for the Parents' Financial Statement Online Workbook. Step 4 offers instructions for uploading your documents to SSS.

Click on the prompt to begin your Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS). You will be given a password that will allow you to return to your PFS at a later date before submitting it.

To learn how to complete the PFS form, please consider attending our Financial Aid Workshop, which will be held November 29, 2012 from 7-8 p.m. in Fisher Hall. Please RSVP to Mary Laura Kalista at 410-821-3034.

It is very important that you include a cover sheet with the documents that you send to SSS so that they can correctly match the documents to your PFS.  You can find a link to the cover sheet here.

Be sure to submit all of your financial aid documents by the appropriate deadline so that awards are not delayed or forfeited due to late application and/or a lack of funds.

By signing the PFS electronically, parents indicate that they have filled out the form with the best available information and knowledge. They agree to inform the School of any changes in their financial situation. Any variance from this may jeopardize a student’s financial aid award, no matter what stage they are in the process. The preliminary financial aid award may be adjusted once the file is complete with the required documentation.

St. Paul’s School reserves the right to request additional financial information from the family applying for aid at any time.
