Apply for Financial Assistance

Financial assistance at Peddie is based on each family’s ability to pay. We expect that each family will fund their child’s education to the extent that they are able. Our financial assistance program is designed to aid families after they have considered all of their own resources.

The Peddie School uses Clarity to process financial assistance applications. This process ensures that your information will be delivered accurately, securely and quickly to our school.

Note to returning families: You must reapply for financial assistance each year that your child attends Peddie. Information on reapplication deadlines will be communicated to you via email and The Peddie A.M.

How to Apply for Financial Assistance

  1. Visit peddie.org/clarity and create your Clarity portal account.
  2. Complete your Clarity application and add “The Peddie School” as a school recipient for your applicant.
  3. Complete the Clarity Enhanced Tax Verification process (ETV) to release your W2 and personal tax return transcripts from the IRS. This is a one-time security measure required by the IRS to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information.
  4. Submit your Clarity application and follow the link to return to your dashboard to upload any additional supporting documents. Non-US tax filers will be prompted to upload income verification and other necessary documentation. Keep in mind that at a later date you may be prompted to upload additional documentation as needed.

All financial assistance materials must be submitted to Clarity by January 15.
