Financial Aid
One of the school’s primary goals is to make its educational opportunities available to a student body that is diverse in economic, social, and ethnic backgrounds, as well as in interests and talents.
The Buckley School offers financial assistance to families with documented need, based on an evaluation by School and Student Services (SSS) for Financial Aid, Princeton, New Jersey. Families interested in applying for such assistance must complete the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS), available from the Admission Office in late October in paper form or online at www.nais.org.
The completed PFS forms should be sent no later than February 1 to:
School and Student Service for Financial Aid
Educational Testing Service
P. O. Box 371478
Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7478
The Admission Office must receive the following information no later than February 1:
- Buckley’s Monthly Budget Sheet
- A signed copy of your completed 2007 Federal tax form 1040
- All supporting schedules and W-2 forms
- A signed, but not dated, IRS Form 4506
In the case of divorce or separation, financial information is required of both parents. Financial need is not a factor in determining admission to Buckley. All financial aid requests are kept separate from admission folders.
Buckley acknowledges that the process for applying for Financial Aid can be sometimes confusing and a bit complicated. Our Financial Aid section has been constructed to provide you with useful information to introduce you to the process, but also answer your initial questions. However, if further information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact Carinne Barker at (818) 783-1610 x70 or e-mail us at admissions@buckleyla.org.
