The application for Tuition Assistance for the 2026-2027 school year is now open. We are excited to announce that our school will continue to use Clarity as our tuition assistance application system. Our goal is to make the process of applying for tuition assistance as easy as possible for your family. The tuition assistance program is designed to make a Briskin and Bay-Nimoy ECC education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. We are proud to use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts. We invite you to review the Parent FAQs to learn more about Clarity!
Step by Step Instructions on How To Apply for Tuition Assistance:
Step 1: Go to https://app.clarityapp.com/sign-up.
Step 2: Begin your application and add <school name> to your student applicant entry. You can save your application and log out at any time and return later to complete it.
Step 3: Complete your application and pay the $65 Clarity application fee.
Step 4: Complete the Clarity Enhanced Tax Verification (ETV) process to release your W2 and personal tax return transcripts from the IRS. You’ll be asked to authorize the sharing of your tax transcripts and verify your identity. This is a one-time security measure required by the IRS to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information. Only those filing US taxes will be prompted to complete this step. Please review the step-by-step walkthrough of this process.
Step 5: Submit your Clarity application and follow the link to return to your dashboard to upload any additional supporting documents requested by schools. Non-U.S. tax filers may be prompted to upload income verification and other necessary documentation. Keep in mind that at a later date, you may be prompted by the school via Clarity to upload additional documentation as needed.
The deadline for returning families to complete the financial aid application including relevant supplemental documents is December 31, 2025.
The deadline for new families to complete the financial aid application including relevant supplemental documents is January 31, 2026.
