Apply for financial aid

Hyde uses the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on information families share in the application: assets, income, expenses, and debts. The application typically takes fewer than 30 minutes to complete and is mobile-friendly, so you can complete it from anywhere. You can save your progress and return at any time.

Step 1. Go to https://app.clarityapp.com/sign-up.

Step 2. Begin your application and add Hyde School 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. This fee is automatically waived for some families based on annual income and family size. If the $65 fee poses a financial hardship, please contact Justin Fahey at jfahey@hyde.edu to request a waiver.

Step 4. If you file U.S. taxes: Complete the Clarity Enhanced Tax Verification (ETV) process to release your W2 and personal tax return transcripts from the IRS. You will 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 personal information. Clarity offers two ETV options: “Clarity” and “IRS.” Please review the Clarity Tax Verification Guide for assistance.

If you do not file U.S. taxes: When asked about your U.S. tax filing status in the application, select “I do not file in the United States” from the dropdown menu. Enter all currency amounts converted to $USD. After you submit your application, you will receive a document request asking you to upload a salary verification letter from your employer, a bank statement, or your most recent non-U.S. tax documents. Translations into English should be included where applicable.

Step 5. Submit your application and follow the link to your dashboard, where you will find any additional supporting documents requested by Hyde School. Upload those documents. Hyde may request additional documentation at a later date via Clarity.
