The figures tuition committees commonly ask for, gathered in one quiet place: income from every source, what you own, housing, other tuitions and the costs a form never asks about. Then one clean page to print.

    Notes for the committee

    Figures are before tax and our own estimates; our tax return and W-2s are attached. Prepared privately with a worksheet that sends nothing.

    What committees commonly ask.

    On the application

    • Income from every source. Wages, business income, and nontaxable income such as child support, SNAP or a housing allowance. FACTS also asks about tuition support from friends, relatives or employers.
    • What you own. Cash, investments, 529s, retirement accounts, the home’s value and what is owed, other real estate and vehicles.
    • What you must pay. Housing, utilities, debts, medical costs, childcare, giving and every other tuition.

    Documents to have ready

    • Your last federal return with every schedule, and business returns if you own one.
    • W-2s, recent paystubs, 1099s, and proof of income that is not wages.
    • Sometimes more. TADS notes a mortgage statement or utility bills may be asked for; some schools ask for brokerage and retirement statements.

    What some schools also weigh

    • Family help. One school’s published guidelines mention involving grandparents and other family.
    • Choices. The same guidelines mention travel, camp, simchas and large gifts to other causes.
    • Ask your school. Every school sets its own rules and deadlines; late forms can cost you.
