Application for Financial Aid -- THIS IS A NEW PROCESS:
This year we will utilize the online service of Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) to process applications. FAST will be the standard submission format for all applications.
FAST does not decide whether financial assistance will be given or how much to give; rather, FAST provides a need-based financial aid analysis service which includes a recommendation of what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition. All information from FAST is kept confidential.
*The application process is self-guided. You may navigate in and out of the program allowing you to partially complete an application and go back to it at another time. Online e-mail and a 24/7 helpline is provided.
*The charge for the application is $36.00 paid by credit card at the end of the session. If you do not have a credit card or cannot budget the fee please contact Betsy Ellsworth (bellsworth@greenhillsschool.org or 734-205-4061) for assistance.
*After completing the online application you will be required to mail your 2012 tax returns for both state and federal taxes with all schedules and W-2’s to FAST.
*Including the School’s name on the outside of the envelope will ensure faster processing of your application.
*The online submission deadline for all applications is February 11, 2013
*Your tax return must follow the submission, and be postmarked by February 25, 2013
*Make your tax appointment early.
Our goal is to have an award determination made by the time re-enrollment contracts are issued at then end of March. While no financial aid procedure can be entirely equitable – there are simply too many individual factors and extenuating circumstances – this new process that has been selected should serve our community well. Among its many features will be the ability to further secure your financial data and maintain the high degree of confidentiality that past recipients most appreciated.
