Financial Aid Start Your Season
You may want to share these instructions with your families to assist them in completing the Clarity Financial Aid application.
Go to https://app.clarityapp.com/sign-up.
Begin your application and add <school name> to your student applicant entry. You can save your application and log out at any time and return later to complete it.
Complete your application and pay the $65 Clarity application fee.
Complete the Clarity Enhanced Tax Verification (ETV) process to release your W2 and personal tax return transcripts from the IRS. You'll be asked to authorize the sharing of your tax transcripts and verify your identity. This is a one-time security measure required by the IRS to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information. Only those filing US taxes will be prompted to complete this step. Please review the step-by-step walkthrough of this process.
Submit your Clarity application and follow the link to return to your dashboard to upload any additional supporting documents requested by schools. Non-U.S. tax filers may be prompted to upload income verification and other necessary documentation. Keep in mind that at a later date, you may be prompted by the school via Clarity to upload additional documentation as needed.
