- Copies of W-2s
- A completed IRS form 4506-T

- Filing for an extension may disqualify applicants from Adjusted Tuition.

- The school requires applications and tax forms from all individuals who have financial custody of the applicant child(ren).
Adjusted Tuition Timeline
The SSS application will be open on October 1st (which is when applications will be open). Please note the requirements mentioned above. Earlier than usual tax document preparation may be necessary in order to upload state and federal tax documents to the SSS platform by the 2020 deadline.
