At Foothill, the financial assistance application process is thoughtful, thorough, and confidential. The Admissions Committee reviews all applications for admission without regard to any financial assistance applications submitted by prospective families. New and returning Foothill families who seek financial assistance are required to submit an application every year. 

Foothill Country Day School partners with School and Student Services (SSS) by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). The Parent Financial Statement, located on the SSS website, must be completed by all families who seek financial assistance. The SSS system uses a variety of factors to determine a family’s projected contribution toward tuition costs. Foothill, in turn, uses the information from that site, along with a family’s most recent tax returns as verification, to create a potential financial aid package.

In order for your financial aid application to be complete, we require the following:

1) Complete the Parent Financial Statement (PFS) with SSS by the priority deadline.

2) Additional Statement - please use this space on SSS application to information the Financial Assistance Committee about any extenuating circumstances not reflected in your PFS. 

3) Upload a copy of your 2020 tax return(s) with your SSS application. If your 2020 return(s) indicate a substantial difference in income, please connect with the Admission office about how to proceed. Foothill may request additional documents if necessary to determine the best financial assistance package for your family.
