Need-Based Financial Assistance

  • Supports different income levels in an effort to increase affordability for a wide range of families.
  • Requires completion of the Clarity Application.
  • Families are always responsible for a portion of Valwood’s tuition.
Once awarded, the percentage of the award is unlikely to increase in subsequent years unless significant and unexpected financial reversal is demonstrated.

While we will make every effort to be helpful in the case of circumstances beyond a family’s control (for example, loss of job or unexpected illness) with a limited financial aid budget, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet the new financial need of these families as no pre-existing budget is set aside for such circumstances.

Is not available for Pre-Kindergarten. 

How to Apply for Financial Assistance

The Valwood Financial Assistance program is designed to make a Valwood education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Valwood School is proud to use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.

To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.

If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at support@clarityapp.com or 206-210-3752
