The Pennfield School offers financial assistance to families who qualify for support. By February 15, 2012 we require you to complete the following steps:
1. Complete the PFS (Parents’ Financial Statement) form online, found on the School and Student Service site (SSS) at www.sss.nais.org/parents. If you prefer to fill it out manually, you can download the form and mail it to SSS in Randolph, MA. This form should be completed no later than the beginning of February. Online applications are turned around in 72 hours and it takes 2 weeks to process mailed applications. The Pennfield School’s code is 5325.
2. If you own a Business or Farm, we require that you complete the SSS Business - Farm Statement Form. This can be found at www.sss.nais.org/parents . Download form, complete and submit to us.
3. A copy of your 2011 1040 Income Tax Return, the W-2 Form and all supporting schedules mailed to The Pennfield School.
4. The Pennfield School’s “Application for Financial Aid” Form mailed to The Pennfield School.
Download the form.
SSS reviews the application and forwards a report about each family’s economic profile. The report includes a recommendation as to what the family can afford to pay towards tuition. The Pennfield School makes its determination regarding financial aid after taking into consideration the SSS recommendation, the amount of assistance requested on the school’s “Application for Financial Aid” form, the individual circumstances of each particular family, and the amount of financial aid available in a given year.
All financial aid paperwork needs to be submitted to The Pennfield School’s Admission Office by Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Financial aid grants are made following the receipt of the Enrollment Contract and a $500 deposit.
