Financial Aid
 Financial Aid is awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need. Each year applicants for financial aid outnumber the grants available; thus the Financial Aid Committee must make awards on a competitive basis to those qualified students who are truly most deserving of financial assistance.
Families interested in applying for financial aid should check the appropriate section on the basic application form (part of the full admission packet – see process). The Admission Office will then forward to them the appropriate financial aid application forms. The Parents Financial Statement (PFS) should be completed and returned directly to the School Scholarship Service (SSS) in Princeton, New Jersey. (The PFS may now be submitted online at www.nais.org/financialaid/sss. Follow the instructions given for accessing “SSS Online” and be sure to include Blair as a recipient of the application – Blair’s school code is 1720.) A copy of the completed PFS and a copy of the 1040 tax forms should also be sent to the Blair Academy Financial Aid Director by February 1. Requests for assistance are reviewed by Blair’s Financial Aid Committee, and the first awards are granted beginning March 10.
Financial aid awards are renewed on a yearly basis. Parents of recipients must submit the Parents’ Financial Statement and a copy of their 1040 tax forms before February 1 in making application for the following academic year. Students will continue to receive financial aid only if they have performed academically at a level commensurate with their ability and have been positive, contributing members of the school community.
