Note: Scholarship applicants must submit a completed registration form and Form 1040 from the family’s most recent tax return for financial documentation.
Unless circumstances warrant, applicants need to provide financial documentation only once per academic year (fall, spring, summer), though completed ECP

documentation. Submission of the required financial documents does not guarantee financial aid assistance. All applications will be reviewed based on the
school’s financial aid need–based guidelines.
