Admissions Timetable for Applying for Financial Aid: New and Returning Students

NEW STUDENTS

Most of the financial aid for a given grade is initially awarded in kindergarten; therefore, new financial aid for later grades is limited. If a child’s parents reside in separate households, Foote requires each parent to complete the financial aid forms.  Each parent should complete the application for his/her household only.

January 2010    
•  Instructions for applying for financial aid are mailed to parents of applicants who have indicated they intend to apply for financial aid.

February 15     
•   Parents' Financial Statement should be completed.  It is best to complete the form on time even if you have to estimate some of the income information. Please answer ALL questions; leaving any blanks will delay the processing of your application. Fraudulent information will result in loss of financial aid. Be sure to keep a copy of the form for your records.  

   – To use PFS Online:  Go to SSS Online
   

   – By mail: Request a printed PFS form from Foote. Use the envelope in the packet to mail to the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS).

  
•   Tax forms should be sent to SSS. Along with your 2009 IRS 1040 Form you must include all supplementary schedules that were filed and a copy of any W-2 or 1099 forms.

•    If your child filed an income tax form, also include a copy of that form and schedules and W-2 or 1099 forms.

•   If you were asked to complete a Business/Farm Statement, it should be returned to SSS.

February 15 –  March 10   
•   The Financial Aid Committee meets throughout this time.

Note: The information provided to the school by the SSS will be used in conjunction with your tax forms to make the final determination of grants based on comparative need as well as demonstrated need.  This process is completely confidential.  Your financial information will be available only to the four members of the Financial Aid Committee – Carol Maoz, Jay Cox, Laura Altshul, and Donna Batsford.  The Committee cannot make an award unless all the information requested is available.

March 10           
•    Financial aid decision letters are mailed to families of newly accepted students. The Committee works very hard to make equitable and sufficient awards to help as many families as possible.

After March 10     
•    Financial aid decision letters will be sent out with admissions acceptances.

If you have any questions about the application, please contact Donna Batsford, Director of Financial Aid, 203-777-3464.  She can help you with this process and would be happy to work on the application with you.
