Step 1: Submit a request for Financial Aid letter to the Admissions office

Step 2: Complete a Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) and submit it online to School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS). We recommend that parents complete the PFS forms as soon as possible because the forms usually take SSS 1-2 weeks to process online. To submit the PFS online, go to: http://sss.nais.org. To submit a PFS by mail, please request a form from the Admissions Office.

Step 3: Mail the required backup documentation to the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS): SSS by NAIS, Application Processing Center, PO Box 449 Randolph, MA 02368-0449

· Copy of 2008 and 2009 Tax Returns (1040) and all schedules

· Copy of 2008 and 2009 W-2’s

· Signed, but not dated, 4506-T Form (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506t.pdf). This form allows St. Gabriel’s School to access your filed 1040 return (if necessary).

 

Step 4: If applicable, submit a Business/Farm statement to the Admissions Office. Please complete one for each business you own. You may obtain a Business/Farm statement by contacting the Admissions Office.
