Applying for Assistance

Santa Fe Prep uses an outside firm, School and Student Services (SSS), to process tuition assistance applications. All families requesting tuition assistance must file a Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) with SSS and submit additional tax information. To be eligible for consideration for the 2024-2025 school year, SSS must receive your PFS and supporting documents by January 19, 2024.

Based on the financial information you provide, SSS will give us an estimated amount your family can contribute to educational expenses. This estimate is a starting point to help us make fair and objective financial aid decisions.

Getting Started

Please note that Santa Fe Prep requires financial information from both custodial and non-custodial parents and for each stepparent, guardian, or adult wage earner living in the home. In addition to completing the PFS, you will also need to submit a signed copy of your 2022 IRS Form 1040 (including W-2s and all accompanying schedules) and all corporate and partnership/sole proprietorship forms (1020s, schedule C, K-1s, etc.) if you own a business. You will also need to provide an estimate of your 2023 taxes; a copy of your final 2023 taxes is due no later than April 17, 2024, for verification purposes.

You may wish to view the PFS Workbook ahead of time to see the kinds of information required in the PFS. This workbook is a guide to completing the 2024-25 PFS with start-to-finish features and line-by-line instructions.
