Tuition Assistance

Completing the application begins our formal dialogue to decide if Montgomery School is the right match for your child. Please apply online - there is a $50 fee. Check the box on the application indicating you would like to apply for tuition assistance. Grants are awarded solely on the basis of a family’s financial need and subsequent to your child's acceptance and enrollment.

Step by Step Application Instructions

1. Go to the SSS website:

2. Login to the PFS online
Are you applying for aid for the first time? Click on the green “Create an Account” button. You’ll be asked to enter your name and email address and to select a password.

Did you apply last year? Enter in your login and password from last year in the section called “Returning Families.” If you have forgotten your login information, click on “forgot your password.”

3. Begin a PFS for academic year 2021-2022
Download the PFS Online Workbook and refer to on-screen help for guidance along the way. You can log out of the PFS Online at any time, then return later to complete your PFS.

4. Pay for and submit your PFS
The fee of $51 is non-refundable. Once you have paid for and submitted your PFS, noting Montgomery's SSS number of 5170, we will receive your information. About 24 hours after you submit your PFS, you can go back to the PFS Online to submit any additional documents (see next section) and to view your Family Report, which summarizes the information we will receive. You are required to order a copy of the parent report.

5. Submit additional required documents
Approximately 24 hours after you have paid for and submitted your PFS online, you will have access to the Manage Documents section of the PFS Online, where you can upload documents.

After completing the PFS, please complete and submit the following required documents:

• 2019: 1040 and W-2 (new tuition applicants only)
• 2020: W-2 Form
• 2020: 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ, and all supporting schedules (when available later this spring)

1. Prepare your documents to be uploaded.

Make sure the documents are on your computer, each saved as a separate file. They can be saved in any of the following file formats and each must be not more than 1.5 MB in size: Microsoft Word, Excel, Adobe PDF, .jpg, .gif, or .tif. Remove any security or password protection you may have on any PDFs and black out any social security numbers. All documents must be submitted online.

2. Go to the PFS Online and login.
 

3. Select the Academic Year 2021-2022 button.
 

4. From your PFS Online Dashboard, click on the purple “Manage Documents” tab.
 

5. On the Manage Documents page, under “Upload Documents,” click “Browse,” then locate the place the document is on your computer.
 

6. Click "Upload Documents."

Once you have uploaded a document, it will NOT appear immediately in the “Received Documents” section on this page. It can take up to 72 hours for it to be received and then validated. Once it does appear in the “Received Documents” section, that means that Montgomery now has access to it.

If you have questions as you complete the PFS, contact SSS customer service at 800-344-8328.

If you wish to submit documents by mail, send them with a cover sheet (download here) to School and Student Services, PO Box 449, Randolph, MA 02368-0449. For overnight service, use: School and Student Services, 437 Turnpike Street, Canton, MA 02021.

Please do not send any documents to the School. All documents must go directly to SSS.

We will communicate our tuition assistance decision to you.

To make our decision, we use the information from the PFS as a starting point. SSS does not determine the amount of tuition assistance you receive; Montgomery School will make that decision independently. Your need is institutionally determined.
