Tuition Assistance Procedures

Once you have established your Clarity account, click “Continue Application” from your portal homepage to begin or continue your application. Please enter your biographical and financial information, including all applying students and indicating which schools you are applying to.

As part of your financial aid application through Clarity, please complete the enhanced tax verification process to authorize Clarity to pull your prior year tax returns directly from the IRS. This means you won't need to upload any of them yourself! Start by creating your own IRS.gov account before completing your Clarity Tuition Assistance application. Once you create your IRS account, you will not have to complete this extra step again in future years, and will have the ability to authorize up to three years of taxes to share with us and any other school(s) you are applying to. Please scan the QR code for detailed step-by-step instructions from Clarity.

Once your application has been submitted (you will know you're done once you see confetti on your screen - this is after you have paid, authorized the tax pull and clicked "submit"), you will receive requests to upload relevant documents to complete your application. Where applicable, this may include recent paystubs, form 1120S, or Schedule K-1.

The Tuition Assistance Committee reviews applications once families have uploaded their 2025 W2s. As such, please be prepared to upload your current W2s as soon as they are requested in January.

Upload your most recent completed, signed tax forms, including all schedules, to Far Brook by May 1, 2026. Failure to do so will result in the loss of your tuition assistance award.

If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at support@clarityapp.com or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.
