How do we apply for tuition assistance?
Starting October 2, 2024, families interested in applying for tuition assistance at The Raleigh School can initiate the process on the Clarity website. Simply select "Don't have an account?" and follow the provided instructions to get started. When complete, submit your application and pay the nonrefundable application fee of $60.
How are tuition assistance awards determined?
When determining a family’s eligibility for tuition assistance, The Raleigh School considers a need analysis provided by Clarity. The Clarity system considers taxable and non-taxable income, assets, liabilities, family size, and the number of students in tuition-charging schools. After an allowance for basic necessities and required taxes, the remaining funds are considered available for education. Tuition Assistance is awarded without regard to race, gender, national and ethnic origin, or religion.

Will my family receive tuition assistance every year?
Tuition assistance must be applied for each year, and recalculations are made using current information. The goal is to ensure consistent levels of aid when circumstances remain largely the same.
What happens when parents are divorced or separated?
Both parents are expected to contribute to the cost of their child’s education. Therefore, both parents are required to complete and submit a tuition assistance application and required supporting documentation to Clarity.
Is my financial aid application confidential?
All applications and awards are held in the strictest confidence.
