FINANCIAL AID

Scholarship and Financial Aid Options

Financial aid from The Cushman School Scholarship Fund can be awarded to both current and incoming families of students entering the first through twelfth grades.

Using information from the Financial Aid for School Tuition, (F.A.S.T) form, our Board of Trustees Financial Aid committee will determine your child’s eligibility to receive funds. To get started, simply fill out the F.A.S.T. form, which is available online at www.ismfast.com. Scholarships are awarded annually, and are primarily need-based.

For your financial aid application to be considered, you must:

1) Have a current application on file for The Cushman School

2) Have turned in all paperwork required for the application process

3) Complete the 2019 FAST Application and uploaded the 2018 tax returns and all tax documentation including your last paycheck stub from all jobs and 2019 W2s/1099s for both parents when received.

** The deadline to apply for financial aid for returning families is in January 2021, and February 2021 for new families.

Not only does The Cushman School offer in-house scholarships for students, but we are also proud to accept The McKay Scholarships for Students with Disabilities and Tax Credit Scholarship and the Gardiner Scholarship through Step Up for Students.
