Using a third-party financial aid service provides an objective, quantitative assessment of a family's demonstrated financial need that considers several factors (income and assets, expenses, debts, number of children, etc).  The Clarity application takes most families thirty minutes or less to complete, and it is mobile-friendly. How to Apply Key Dates Separated, Divorced, or Remarried Parents Clarity Resources Please apply through Clarity by clicking the button below. Tutorial Video Families pay a $60 application fee through Clarity.  An automatic fee waiver is applied to qualified families based on income and asset thresholds.  If you are prompted to pay the $60 fee, please do so. October - January: Complete the Clarity application February 1: Clarity applications due March-April: Families are notified of aid awards or their status in the process In the case of split households, Sayre asks that each parent complete their own Clarity application. If either parent remarries, the financial information of the step-parent should be included in the application materials. We will take into account the obligations of the parent and step-parent to their own children as we process the information. Documentation should be provided if there is a divorce/custody agreement regarding financial responsibility for the student. 2025-26 Family Application Guide (English) 2025-26 Family Application Guide (Spanish) 2025-26 Quick Reference Guide (English) 2025-26 Quick Reference Guide (Spanish) Clarity Family Support Contact Information EASE Maximizing value for the tuition, and helping families budget for investing in their students.
