To apply for financial aid for the 2018-2019 school year, parents must complete an online Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) through the NAIS School and Student Services (SSS). Key School’s code is 4372.

In addition to the online PFS, parents must submit copies of the following documents to the Office of Admission by February 2:

• 2016 Federal Income Tax Return (IRS 1040) with all attached schedules
  (1 for joint; 2 if filed separately)

• All 2016 and 2017 W-2 forms and/or 1099 forms

• The Key School uses the needs analysis of the School and Student Services (SSS) to estimate the family contribution.

• The Key School does not consider financial need in the assessment of the applicant’s eligibility for admission.

• While generous, Key's financial aid budget may preclude the School's ability to admit and fund all qualified applicants.

• Applicants may be put on a wait list for further review should funds become available.

• The School expects both parents to contribute to tuition. If a parent makes the decision not to work, the School may impute an annual income for a non-working parent, after the youngest child in the family reaches kindergarten age.

• In the case of divorce or separation, the School requires both parents to complete the Parent Financial Statement (PFS) and submit all tax returns and supporting documentation.

• Financial aid is available to students in Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade.

• Key School safeguards the confidentiality of all financial aid information supplied by applicants and does not in any way identify recipients of financial aid. Families are informed that publicizing an award in any way is inappropriate and is in violation of School policy.
