Tuition Assistance

Our Commitment

Wornick is proud to be able to offer Tuition Assistance to families who would otherwise be unable to pay full tuition, and is committed to supporting socioeconomic diversity in our community. Awards are based solely upon a family’s demonstrated need. The school encourages families who have a need for assistance to apply. In determining the extent of a family’s need, the school expects families to pay what they are able, but also takes into account all factors affecting the family’s financial resources.

By the Numbers

A Straight-Forward Process

For the 2027–2028 school year, Wornick is switching to Clarity Financial Aid as our new Tuition Assistance application system. We are making this change to provide a more streamlined, user-friendly experience, and to improve the overall application process for families.

Clarity Financial Aid helps determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information families share in the application, including assets, income, expenses, and debts. All information from Clarity is kept confidential, as is all information pertaining to a family's aid request. 

Families applying for the current 2026–2027 school year should submit their application under the 2027–2028 school year. Once submitted, the application will be moved to the correct year on the administrative side.

1. Current and new families file a Clarity financial analysis application by February 3, 2027.
2. Tuition Assistance letters will be emailed to current families and new siblings on March 4, 2027 and emailed to new families with admission decision letters on March 11, 2027.
3. Award letters from returning families are due March 11, 2027, and for new families are due along with enrollment contracts and deposits on March 18, 2027.

Awards are decided anonymously by a committee comprised of finance professionals and community members. Awards are based solely upon a family’s financial resources.

Assistance requests submitted after the deadline of February 3, 2027 will be considered on the basis of remaining funds available.

Clarity offers a streamlined and user-friendly application process that is mobile-friendly and can take as little as 30 minutes to complete. Families may begin an application, save it, and return to it at a later time.

As part of the application process, you will 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.

There is a $65 non-refundable application fee, payable at the end of the application.

For all application process questions, please contact Clarity directly, by emailing support@clarityapp.com, or by calling 206-210-3752.
