Step 4: Optional Tuition Assistance Assessment
Visitation Academy is happy to provide an estimate of tuition assistance for only full-time Montessori enrollment in advance of the application process if you feel your financial situation warrants it. We understand that this may be helpful in making your decision. If you have demonstrated financial need, we encourage you to apply online for tuition assistance prior to December 1. Doing so will allow Visitation Academy to review your tuition assistance application early.
We strive to make the tuition assistance application process comfortable for our families, and please know that your application is confidential. We use School and Student Services (SSS) to process tuition assistance applications and provide preliminary data relative to your family’s financial need. To apply, visit https://sssandtadsfa.my.site.com/familyportal to complete your Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS). The SSS portal opens October 1 and Visitation Academy’s school code is 1093. If you do not choose to complete your online application by December 1, then you should complete it no later than December 31, 2024. Late applicants will be considered if funds remain and may be placed on a waiting list.
Please upload a copy of your 2023 IRS Form 1040 income tax return (including all related schedules and W-2’s) directly to School and Student Services. Similarly, also upload a copy of your 2024 IRS Form 1040 income tax return and all related schedules when completed. Tuition assistance awards are contingent upon you providing the required tax documents.
*Please note to make sure you are entering information into the 2025-2026 SSS form.
