How to Apply for Indexed Tuition
How to Apply
Indexed Tuition is a flexible tuition pricing plan based on each family's specific financial situation.
For 2024-2025, Harford Day School is pleased to announce the move to Clarity Financial Aid for the confidential processing of Indexed Tuition applications. Clarity is a user-friendly, intuitive, mobile-responsive application that can be completed in one sitting in 20-30 minutes or less. Instead of scanning, uploading or mailing prior year tax documents, you simply complete an e-signature form and Clarity will pull verified tax documents directly from the IRS.
Once the transition to Clarity has been completed, additional information and guidance will be posted here to assist families in completing the application process.
