Applying for Financial Aid
FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment will conduct the financial-need analysis for St. Michael’s High School for the 2011–12 school year. Families applying for financial aid must complete an online application and submit the necessary supporting documentation to FACTS; FACTS will then review the submitted information about family income, number of children, expenses, etc., and provide a list of applicants to St. Michael’s, ranked in order of greatest financial need. The decision to make a tuition-aid award is up to St. Michael’s High School. FACTS serves as an unbiased reviewer of the information submitted.
Apply online at www.factstuitionaid.com. First create an account. Once you have signed in you can complete the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment application. After completing the online application, you will need to mail or fax all the supporting documentation to FACTS. The tax documents needed support/verify your application are:
- Copies of your 2011 tax forms including all supporting tax schedules
- Copies of your 2011 W-2 form for both spouses
- Copies of supporting documentation for Social Security Income, Welfare, Child Support, Food Stamps, Workers’ Compensation and TANF
Please allow 2–4 weeks for your application and supporting tax documents to be processed. FACTS is unable to verify receipt of documents until they are scanned into the system, which takes approximately 2–3 business days. Faxed or copied applications will not be accepted; it is recommended that you keep a copy of your application for your records.
St. Michael’s High School and representatives from the school’s Foundation, Parents’ Club, and Alumni Association will review and determine tuition aid awards in early June. Families who wish to be considered for financial aid must submit their applications no later than May 18, 2012.
We strongly encourage all families to submit a financial needs application, whether or not you believe you will be eligible and need assistance. Many families have encountered financial difficulties mid-year, requiring emergency tuition support; however, unless the FACTS Grant Aid & Assessment application has been submitted, no tuition aid can be considered.
Do not hesitate to contact Taylor Gantt, Director of Advancement, at (505) 983-7353 ext. 170, should you have any questions about financial aid.
