Financial Aid Information for Families

Thank you for your interest in The Atlanta Academy for the 2010-11 school year. You may begin to apply for financial aid starting on November 1, 2009, as described below. To be eligible for consideration for financial aid at The Atlanta Academy, you must complete your application by February 12, 2009.

We use School and Student Services (SSS) to process our financial aid applications. SSS is a service of the National Association of Independent Schools. Based on the financial information you provide, SSS gives us an estimated amount that your family can contribute to educational expenses.  This helps our school make fair and objective financial aid decisions. To begin your financial aid application for the 2010-11 enrollment year, follow these steps below.

ONLINE 

1.Starting on November 1, 2009, go to sss.nais.org.

2.Click on the prompt to begin your Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS). You only need to complete one PFS even if you have several children applying to our school.

3.You will be given a username and password that will allow you to return to your PFS at a later date before submitting it. Your information will be secure.

4.You will be given instructions about submitting backup documents.

Note: If you apply for financial aid online, your information will be delivered accurately and quickly to our school, allowing us to make a quicker decision about your eligibility for financial aid.
