Presbyterian Day School believes that there is no greater investment a family can make than in a child’s education. We know that many PDS families choose to realign their lifestyles in order to put their son's educational needs first.
Approximately $1.1 million dollars was given in aid for 2016-2017
To enroll a strong, diverse student body we provide Financial Aid to families who demonstrate a need. PDS encourages families with limited resources to apply for assistance based upon the presumption that the primary obligation for financing a student's education rests with the family. Every family must contribute to their son's tuition. Full scholarships are not offered.
PDS has a need-based Financial Aid policy grounded in the belief that no qualified student should be denied enrollment due to financial restraints. In light of these commitments, we earmark a significant amount of funds each year for Financial Aid. PDS does not discriminate on the basis of race, national, or ethnic origin.
Recipients of Financial Aid are expected to abide by the same academic and conduct standards of all other PDS students. To remain eligible for Financial Aid, students must continue to demonstrate financial need and must continue to maintain good standing in both academics and conduct. Positive and constructive relationships between parents and the school must also exist throughout the year. Families must apply yearly for Financial Aid.
20% of our student body receives financial aid
Applying for Financial Aid does not affect one’s chances for admission; applicants are accepted without regard to a family’s financial situation.
In order to determine a family’s eligibility to receive assistance in a fair and equitable manner, PDS requires that all applicants for Financial Aid complete the online Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) at sss.nais.org/parents and provide SSS all required documentation.
Financial Aid applicants will submit all documentation to School and Student Service by NAIS (SSS). This includes the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) and all required tax forms. The 2016 1040’s with all schedules, W-2’s, and pay stubs for September and October 2017 are due with the PFS on November 30, 2017, and 2017 1040’s with all schedules and W-2’s are due on April 15, 2018. Financial Aid awards are not final until the PFS is verified with the 2017 documentation.
All parents who own a business and/or farm may be required to furnish information relevant to the business to substantiate need, such as balance sheets and cash flow statements.
PDS presumes that all adult family members will work to contribute to the investment of the child’s education. To that end, when the mother or father chooses not to work and there are no preschool children at home, or is a full or part time student, PDS will impute an annual income for the non-working parent.
Exceptions will be made if the parents are caring for a disabled child, parent, or grandparent, or critically ill child, parent, or grandparent. Consideration will also be given for the parent that is home-schooling children.
Ever year applicants for Financial Aid typically demonstrate more need than there are funds available. Therefore, it necessitates the creation of a Financial Aid waiting list. The school will allocate awards to those on the waiting list if the funds become available.
In order to qualify for Financial Aid for the next school year a family must be current with the business office. In the event that a family is not current under their payment plan by March 1, a Financial Aid award may not be awarded for the next school year.
Date | What |
---|---|
October 24, 2017 | Website (www.solutionsbysss.com/parents) open for parents to submit PFS and documentation online for the 2018–2019 school year. |

Also, pay stubs for September and October 2017 are due to SSS at this time. |
Mid-Late January 2018 | Financial Aid awards are allocated to current families Who have provided all forms and documentation to SSS. |
Mid February 2018 | Financial Aid awards are allocated to new students whose families have provided all forms and documentation to SSS. |
April 15, 2018 | Deadline for all applicants to submit 2017 W–2’s and income tax returns with all schedules to SSS. |
Those applying for Financial Aid after the November 30 deadline will be considered only if all paperwork is received and processed before awards are made in January and February. Depending on funds available, those applying after the initial awards are made in January and February may be put on a waiting list for awards.

Presbyterian Day School awards over $1.1 million dollars annually in financial aid based on demonstrated need.
There is no specific income that will automatically qualify a family to receive need-based financial aid at Presbyterian Day School. Income is only one consideration when determining eligibility for need-based financial aid. Other significant factors include, but are not limited to: family size; number of children in tuition-charging schools; and family assets.
Applying for need-based aid is the only way to accurately determine your eligibility for such financial assistance.
Parent Income Range | % of Applicants Receiving Aid | Award Range |
---|---|---|
Less than $49,999 | 100% | $3,500-$16,500 |
$50,000-$74,999 | 100% | $5,000-$16,000 |
$75,000-$99,999 | 100% | $5,000-$14,000 |
$100,000-$124,999 | 96% | $4,000-$14,000 |
$125,000-$149,999 | 100% | $1,000-$10,000 |
$150,000-$199,999 | 82% | $1,000-$10,000 |
$200,000+ | 13% | $5,000 |
Eligibility is processed by a third-party service in Princeton, New Jersey: School and Student Services for Financial Aid (SSS).
