Clarity (financial aid application)

An online financial aid application used by many U.S. independent schools. A family completes it once and sends it to each school on its list that uses it.

Why it matters

International families are usually asked to enter figures in U.S. dollars and upload official evidence of income and assets, such as tax returns or wage statements. It has its own fee, and fee waivers exist.

Who decides

Each school decides which aid application it uses and what documents it needs.
