Affording Our Schools

Complete the online FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition) application.

Click on the link above or the FAST icon to start the application.

The application process is self-guided. You may navigate in and out of the program allowing you to partially complete an application and go back to it at another time. Please call the FAST 24/7 helpline (877-326-FAST) with any questions.

The following supplementary items must be received by FAST no later than Monday, February 8, 2021 to complete your application:

• 2019 Federal Tax Return, including all schedules and w2 forms
• Business Taxes, if applicable (K1, 1120S, 1065, etc)
• Copy of mortgage/rent statement for December 2020
• Automobile insurance face page identifying automobiles, coverage and premium amounts, for both personal and business autos
• Annual Property Tax Bill 2020-2021
• COVID related supporting documentation
• 2020 w2 (if applicable) for working parents
• 2020 taxes by April 15, 2020 to complete the application for both returning and new applicants

Please be advised if any required item is missing, your financial aid file will be considered incomplete. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed until all documentation is provided. It is the applicant family’s responsibility to make sure all materials are received by FAST by Monday, February 8, 2021.

Because we try to assist as many families in need as possible, we ask that you request the dollar amount that fits your circumstances.

Only the Harvey J. and Sybil A. Fields Scholarship Fund Committee and FAST will see your information.

Admissions decisions are made without consideration of the financial circumstances of the applicant. Once the Admissions Committee has reached its decisions, the Fields Scholarship Fund Committee awards financial aid to qualified families of students who have submitted all requested documents. Awards are for tuition only.

In the case of divorced or separated families, both parents must submit complete applications, and all deadlines apply. Special circumstances should be addressed directly with school administration.

Families will be notified by email between March and April 2020.

If an application is received after the deadline, it will be reviewed only if funds are available and after those that were received on time.

The Early Childhood Centers and Brawerman Elementary work with Smart Tuition, a service provider, that allows you to select from a menu of payment plans and methods.

Great! We look forward to connecting. Please give us a call at (213) 388-2401 or stop by the front desk of the school office.
