Tuition & Financial Aid

1. Visit the SSS portal, which opens on Sept. 1, 2024. If applying for Grades 9-12, an applicant’s online application must be completed by Dec. 18, 2024.  If applying for Grades K-8, an applicant's online application must be completed by Dec. 31, 2024, and all documents uploaded by Feb. 1, 2025. Preschool and Prekindergarten applicants are not eligible for financial aid.

2. Click on the prompt to begin your Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS). Only complete one PFS, even if you have several children applying to our school.

3. Click on the green “Create an Account” button. You will be asked to enter your name and e-mail address and to select a password.

4. The St. Mary’s Academy school code is 4901.

The required documentation should be uploaded to the SSS portal. Applications for tuition assistance will be processed upon receipt of the following items:

• SSS application, PFS, and $60 application fee
• Copy of 2023 income tax return and all schedules
• 2023 W2
• 2024 W2
• 2023 business income tax return and all schedules if self-employed

The Admission and Business Office does not accept paper, emailed, or scanned copies.  Families must upload documents as individual, separate pdf files or mail them to SSS. To submit documents by mail, you must print your Cover Sheet from "My Documents" and send it with your documents to the address it provides at least ten days before the deadlines.  

St. Mary’s Academy encourages you to pay close attention to these deadlines. If your financial aid application is complete by the deadline communicated for your applicant, you will receive a financial aid notification soon after your student’s acceptance. If you miss the Dec. 18, 2024/Dec. 31, 2024 deadline, your financial aid application will be considered on a wait-pool basis. Please do not delay in submitting your forms!

If you have any questions about your SSS application, please contact SSS directly at 1-800-344-8328 or sss@communitybrands.com.
