Financial aid is determined on the basis of need, timely submission of the financial aid application and
registration forms (finanical aid application must be postmarked by February 1, 2008), payment of registration
fees and participation in the Fairshare Program.
To be considered for financial aid for the
2008-09 academic year, please contact us for an application. Complete all of the application and attach a copy of
your signed and filed IRS 1040 for 2007 (or foreign income tax return). If your 2007 tax form
has not been completed, you must attach a copy of your extension request to the IRS and a
copy of your 2006 Form 1040. When your 2007 Form 1040 is filed, please forward a copy to
the Scholarship Committee. Also, please note on the application any significant changes
in income or resources from the previous tax year to the present.
All parents must sign and return an IRS Form 4506. This form enables PJA to get a copy of an applicant's tax return directly from the IRS. Independent schools use this form to ensure that the scholarship process is fair and complete. This is in addition to a copy of your tax form.
Parents who are divorced or separated are required to have both birth parents and step-parents submit financial information (use separate application forms). The only exception is if there is a court order mandating that one parent provide all support for the child. In that case, please attach a copy of the court order. Again, this policy is instituted to make the scholarship process fair and complete and to ensure an accurate picture of a family's total finances.
No application will be considered unless all past due balances are brought up to date or a payment arrangement has been accepted by PJA.
Parent(s) or responsible guardian(s) must sign the application. Your signature certifies that all information recorded is correct.
Determination of aid is solely the responsibility of the PJA Scholarship Committee. This committee considers all submitted information and individual financial aid decisions to be strictly confidential.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Controller if you have any questions.
