Tuition Assistance 
Application

Frankford Friends uses the Clarity Application to assess a family’s level of financial need. This assessment is based on information shared in the application, including income, assets, expenses, and debts. Families with students in PreK through 8th grade are eligible to apply. Financial information is required from both responsible parents or guardians, and all personal data is kept confidential.

To begin, visit the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes about 20 minutes to complete and is mobile-friendly. You can save your progress and return at any time. At submission, Clarity charges a $60 fee per household.

While the process is straightforward,  a Quick Reference Guide and detailed Family Application Guide are available for step-by-step support.

For New and Prospective Families

Families new to Frankford Friends should submit the tuition assistance application at the same time as the admissions application to ensure timely consideration. Current FFS families receive priority, and new applications are reviewed in the order they are received. While more than one-third of our students receive tuition assistance, please note that demand can exceed available funds.

For Returning Families

Tuition assistance must be renewed annually. The deadline for priority applications is December 15. Only complete applications will be reviewed. Those submitted after the deadline will be placed in the general pool. Award notifications for returning families will be sent along with re-enrollment contracts in January.
