Financial Assistance/Scholarship Information
Financial Aid Application Process
Each family must submit a completed Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) to the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) organization. This form may be completed online via the SSS website at https://sss.ets.org. If you would like to request that a paper copy of the PFS be mailed to you, please contact the Office of Admission at (800) 753-4683. (NOTE: the SSS Code No. for ANDREWS OSBORNE ACADEMY = 1292.) This form considers such factors as gross taxable and non-taxable income, assets, liabilities, family size, and allowances for taxes and basic necessities. The contribution amount determined by SSS is a general recommendation and does not take into account individual school policies.
In addition, copies of the following forms must be sent to the Business Office: the parents’ and students’ 2007 Federal Income Tax Form 1040 including all schedules and attachments (e.g Schedule A, Schedule C, etc.) and W-2/1099 forms. If all of these forms are not received, awards will not be made. If the paper PFS is mailed to SSS (i.e. not submitted on-line), it is recommended that a copy also be mailed to the Office of Admission.
It is expected that a family applying for aid from AOA will apply for aid from all tuition-charging institutions their other children may be attending and this will be reflected on the PFS. Adjustments may be made and/or income imputed for parents who: voluntarily reduce their income (i.e. voluntarily terminating employment or being underemployed, returning to school, starting a business); are non-working, unless it can be documented they are disabled or otherwise unable to work; or fail to supply information requested. To ensure a fair and accurate determination of financial need, all parents/guardians must file all of the necessary forms and comply fully with all of the guidelines and requirements of the aid process.
