Financial Aid Application Process for Families of Prospective Students
New families applying for financial aid for the 2026-27 school year need to complete an online application and submit the necessary supporting documentation to FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment by January 15, 2026. Application materials are generally available after November 1.
The following information is required by January 15, 2026, for FACTS to process your application:
- Complete online application.
- Payment of the $45 application fee to FACTS.
- Copy of your Federal Tax Return for 2024, including all supporting tax schedules. Do not send copies of State Tax Returns.
- Copies of supporting documentation for Social Security Income, Child Support, Unemployment, and Workers' Compensation. If you have Partnership Income or income from an Estate or Trust, call FACTS at 1-866-441-4637 to ascertain what additional documentation is required.
Also Required:
Each of these items should be uploaded to FACTS as soon as it is available. This can be done after submitting your completed application; we understand that these items may not be available before the January 15 deadline. Do not postpone sending the items above, specified for January 15, until the items below are received as this will delay the processing of your application:
- Copies of all 2025 W-2 Form(s) and 1099 Forms for both you and your spouse.
- Copy of your 2024 Federal Tax Return, including all supporting tax schedules.
Send all the required documentation directly to FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment rather than to Stone Ridge, using the upload feature at the end of the online application.
Please prioritize submitting your 2025 W-2 and 1099 forms as soon as you receive them. In many cases, Stone Ridge can make financial aid determinations using 2024 tax returns and these 2025 income documents, prior to receipt of your 2025 tax returns.
Additional Information:
Barring unusual circumstances, such as late application to the School, families applying for financial assistance must meet the above deadlines. Families of students currently receiving financial aid are given priority consideration in the first round of awards. Thereafter, awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis. No application will be considered until all requested items have been received. Families who miss the specified deadlines jeopardize their chance of receiving aid and may be placed on a waiting list.
Financial aid decisions are made independently of Admission decisions. Letters concerning financial aid awards are emailed on a similar schedule to that of admissions acceptance letters, or shortly thereafter.
All financial documentation is kept confidential and destroyed when no longer needed.
