Families may submit the tuition assistance applications and supporting documents starting in late Fall 2023 for the 2024 – 2025 school year. Submissions for returning students will not be accepted after April 26, 2024.
Step 1 - Submit Application:
All families should submit their online tuition assistance applications to FACTS.
Complete an application here.
You need to complete only one application, even if you have more than one child applying to The Windward School.
The processing fee to apply for tuition assistance using the FACTS system is $35.00 for a standard 1040 Tax Return and slightly more if there are additional corporate, partnership, or trust tax documents (1120, 1120S or 1065).
If you are unable to complete your application online, forms are available from Dr. Erik Bennett, The Windward School Tuition Assistance Director. If you have questions about the FACTS submission process, you may call FACTS directly at 866-315-9262 or inquiry@factsmgt.com, or contact Dr. Erik Bennett at 914-949-6968 ext. 1271.
Step 2 – Submit Supporting Documentation
After completing the online application, you will need to upload all required supporting documentation. Documents can be uploaded online by logging into your account.
All families must submit the following documents directly to FACTS. Returning families must submit the following documents by April 26, 2024:
- a copy of both parents' or guardians' 2023 1040 federal tax return with all schedules and W2’s,
- a copy of both parents' or guardians' 2022 1040 federal tax return with all schedules and W2’s,
- if either parent or guardian is self-employed, a copy of the 2022 and 2023 corporate tax return,
- possible additional supporting documents.
Application Deadline: Families may submit the tuition assistance applications and supporting documents starting December 30, 2023. The deadline for submitting the application and supporting materials to FACTS for returning families is April 28, 2023.
