How to Apply for Financial Aid
If your child is applying for admission to Penn Charter:
-
Complete the Clarity application no later than November 30, 2024. Penn Charter and Clarity recommend completing the form as soon as possible. You will need 2023 financial information on hand.
-
Follow the prompts using this downloadable step-by-step guide to complete the financial aid application. You are able to save and return to the application if you need to.
-
The final step will be to upload November 2024 pay stubs for all parents/caregivers that show cumulative income from January through November to your Clarity account.
If you have questions, please email Director of Financial Aid and Associate Director of Admissions John Zurcher. If you have completed a different financial aid application for another school already this year, such as SSS or FAST, and the Clarity fee is not feasible, please reach out as well.
The Financial Aid Committee meets regularly to act on completed applications. Therefore, it is to your advantage to have completed all the above steps by the December 1 deadline to maximize the chances of being awarded financial aid. If you are applying after December 1, please contact the Director of Financial Aid to inquire about the availability of financial aid.
Financial Aid for Current Families
As all grants are made annually, all families must reapply for financial aid each year to establish their level of financial need. For PC families not currently receiving financial aid but wishing to apply, please follow the instructions in the Hub and contact Director of Financial Aid John Zurcher as soon as possible.
