FINANCIAL AID

St. Thomas’s Day School is committed to maintaining a community of children from diverse economic and cultural backgrounds.   Each academic year, St. Thomas’s Day School awards financial aid to families on the basis of demonstrated need.  To determine eligibility for financial assistance, the school requires a family to submit an application with supporting financial documents, namely, W2’s and the current IRS 1040 Form. Applications for financial aid are held in strict confidence.  The Financial Aid Committee, a subcommittee of the Board’s Finance Committee, reviews applications on a case-by-case basis.  St. Thomas’s strives to achieve a partnership with the student’s family where both partners  contribute to the fullest extent possible to meet the student’s educational expense and provide the richest educational experience for the student.

To apply for Financial Aid for the academic year 2012-2013, a family should submit an application with all supporting documentation by the deadline -  February 6, 2012. It is important to adhere to the deadline as financial aid resources are limited and funds are usually depleted after the Financial Committee Review.  Notification will be sent to returning students prior to the re-enrollment deadline (February 27, 2012). In the case of a new student, notification is given at the time of acceptance to the school (March 10, 2012).   The Business Manager is available to all applicant families if you require assistance or you have any questions. Please contact Filomena Cardinale in the Business Office.
