Tuition & Financial Aid

Epiphany School has chosen Clarity as our financial aid application provider. Use the button above or click HERE to submit the application. The Clarity Family Application Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to complete the application. Only completed applications will be considered. The financial aid application deadline for currently enrolled families is January 9, 2024. The application deadline for new families is February 6, 2024.

No. The Admission Committee evaluates students for admission separately from the financial aid process. Once admission decisions have been made, the Financial Aid Committee will then determine whether a student qualifies for an award and how much will be awarded.

We have chosen Clarity as our new financial aid partner to better serve both our current and prospective families. We are confident that Clarity is going to make the process of applying for financial aid easier for families.

Clarity offers a streamlined, mobile friendly application that can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. Additionally, Clarity is authorized to transfer your tax data from the IRS, once you complete Form 4506-T during the application process. This makes the verification of data quick and efficient.

Epiphany School takes the privacy and security of your personal information very seriously. Clarity is certified for both GDPR and SOC2 and uses enterprise-level security standards including end-to-end encryption of all personally identifiable information. For more information, please refer to Clarity’s Privacy Policy.

Clarity uses the income and asset information in the financial aid application itself to assess the family situation and automatically applies a waiver if the family qualifies. Qualifying families will simply bypass the payment screen when their application is complete. For families who do not qualify for an automatic waiver, please email Lonnie Herring at lherring@epiphanyschool.org to request a fee waiver.

The Financial Aid Committee reviews the report provided by Clarity. Names are redacted to assure confidentiality. For two-household families, each parent enters data separately into Clarity and Clarity combines the data for a complete report. (Financial data for separated or divorced parents is never shared with the other parent.) The expected family contribution for tuition is based on the Clarity recommendation, school policy, and the availability of funds. The family’s expected contribution will then be subtracted from total tuition to determine the financial award.

Epiphany School’s financial aid policy considers a family’s complete financial situation—assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. To ensure the process is objective, all applications are subjected to the same allowable expense limits and asset and income protections.

Enrolled families must apply for financial aid every year. In general, if your family's financial situation doesn't change significantly, you should continue to receive a similar level of aid year over year. However, one-time changes in a year, such as a large bonus, gift, or other windfall are significant changes and would generally result in a lower award for the year compared to the prior year. Additionally, updates to school policy and availability of funding may affect the award amount from year to year.

Currently enrolled families will receive email notification February 14, 2024. New families will receive email notification of their financial aid award March 22, 2024, after their admission letter is sent earlier that day.

All financial aid recipients are required to notify the school if their financial status changes over the course of the school year, so that the Business Office can determine whether or not the new financial information will affect their award.

Financial aid does not automatically renew. You must apply each year by submitting the Clarity application and required documents. Check the school website each year for application deadlines and requirements.
