FINANCIAL AID

The North Broward Prep Financial Aid program is designed to make a North Broward Prep education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. North Broward Prep is 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.
 
To get started, please go to the **Clarity Application** and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.
 
Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as North Broward Prep requires you to upload additional tax documentation including W2, Retirement statements, any paystub, if applicable.
 
The deadline for completing the financial aid application including relevant supplemental documents is January 1 for returning families and January 15 for new families.
 
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.
 
This Family Application Guide should help you complete the financial aid application. You can also reference this Quick Reference Guide to help you complete the financial aid application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did North Broward Preparatory School choose Clarity?
We have chosen Clarity as our financial aid application provider to better serve both our current and prospective families. We are confident that this change is going to make the process of applying for financial aid easier for families.
 
How does Clarity make it easier for me to apply for financial aid?
Clarity offers a streamlined, mobile friendly application that can be completed in as short a time as 20 minutes. Additionally, Clarity removes the need to upload your 2023 W2 and 1040 by transferring them directly from the IRS. This reduces the amount of information that you will need to enter manually and makes it possible to complete the application quickly and efficiently.
 
Is my information secure with Clarity?
North Broward Prep takes the privacy and security of your personal information very seriously. Clarity is certified for both GDPR and SOC2 and uses enterprise-level security standards including end-to-end encryption of all personally identifiable information. For more information, please refer to **Clarity’s Privacy Policy.**
 
How will this impact my award?
Just as in prior years, if your financial circumstances have not changed, you will not see significant changes to your award. If you have any questions about your individual circumstance, please reach out to us.
 
Will I still need to apply every year?
Yes, you will need to submit a Clarity application each year to qualify for financial aid; however, Clarity retains your information from previous applications, so it will be even easier to reapply.
 
Can I complete my Clarity application on my phone or tablet?
Yes! Clarity’s application is fully mobile-friendly so you have access wherever you are.
 
When do I need to apply?
You must submit your full completed application by January 1 (current families) or January 15 (new families).
 
I live outside the United States. Can I still apply for financial aid through Clarity?
Yes, along with the student's application, all families must fill out the Clarity application to the best of their ability including the Non-US Tax Filer Verification upload.
If you live in Canada, you will be prompted to upload your T1, T4 and Notice of Assessment.

Does North Broward Prep offer merit, athletic, or fine arts scholarships?

NBP offers two scholarship programs, the Academic Honors Scholarship program and the Fine Arts Scholarship program, both for entering 9th graders. For more information, contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@nbps.org or by phone at 954.247.0179. 

If I receive financial aid and then receive a merit based scholarship, does my financial aid package remain the same?

It may or may not. The Financial Aid committee will re-evaluate and determine your level of financial aid based on the remaining tuition balance and your family's financial profile. 

If I receive financial aid and then receive the Family Empowerment Scholarship, does my financial aid package remain the same?

It may or may not. The Financial Aid committee will re-evaluate and determine your level of financial aid based on the remaining tuition balance and your family's financial profile. 

When will we be notified if we have received an award?

Current families who submit a completed financial aid application along with supplemental documents by January 1 will be notified of their financial award at the time our re-enrollment contracts are sent. Applications received after January 10 will be reviewed in mid-March and a decision will be made no later than March 31.

New families who submit a completed financial aid application along with supplemental documents by January 15 for admission will be notified with their enrollment agreement. Families who submit a financial aid application after our deadline will be notified as funds are available. 

If a family declines their Financial Aid offer will their funding become available for other families?

There is no additional funding distribution after enrollment agreements have been sent out. 

I received a notification that I do not qualify for Financial Aid, what does that mean?

Our team carefully reviews all financial aid applications and required documents. If you did not receive financial aid at this time, it is because the committee determined your income/assets fell outside of the NBPS parameters for offering financial aid.

Can I request a revisit of my Financial Aid award?

All financial aid decisions are final. 

Is there an appeal process for Financial Aid decisions?

All financial aid decisions are final.

Will applying for Financial Aid affect my child’s chances for admission?

No. Students are admitted to NBP based on their academic ability, not their financial status. Admission decisions are made separately from financial aid decisions. 

Will my child’s Financial Aid award change from year to year?

Families must apply for financial aid each year. Financial aid is recalculated each year using current financial information. If your financial situation has changed, then your financial award may change.

Can I apply for Financial Aid after signing my enrollment agreement?

No, once an enrollment agreement is signed, you are committed to those terms and conditions including the tuition amount listed within the agreement.
