How to Apply for Financial Aid
St. Christopher's offers need-based financial aid to make a Saints' education affordable to families at all income levels. For the 2025-2026 school year, St. Christopher's will use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need.

Clarity is mobile-friendly, and your 1040 and W-2 documents from 2023 will transfer automatically from the IRS when you complete the verification step.
For returning families, the deadline to complete the financial aid application is November 15, 2024.
For prospective families, the deadline to complete the financial aid application is January 15, 2025.
