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 School and Student Services (SSS) 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.
Step 1: Submit Parents’ Financial Statement

Instructions
- Go to peddie.org/sss

Step 2: Submit Required Documents
Due by February 15:
All 2023 complete tax returns, schedules, and income statements, such as W2’s, 1099’s, etc.
Instructions
Upload all tax documents (check your SSS account for additional guidance on required documents). Applications are not considered complete until all documentation is submitted.
What if my tax information is not available by the required deadline? Please provide all of 2022 income statements, schedules and complete tax returns by the January 15, 2024 deadline. You may then upload your 2023 income statements and tax returns as soon as they become available, but no later than February 15, 2024.
Plan to file your tax return as early as possible in order to ensure that your financial assistance application will be complete by the deadline. Financial assistance awards will not be finalized until after the receipt of current-year returns and verification of supplied income, asset and tax estimates.
