Hill uses the Parent Financial Statement (PFS) to collect basic financial information on income, assets, family size and the number of siblings in tuition-charging schools. A need analysis report is prepared which suggests the amount you can contribute for educational costs. Since not all families' financial circumstances are equal, The Hill Financial Aid Office uses the PFS evaluation as the starting point for its review of each applicant's request for financial aid.
Families must reapply each year. The amount you can reasonably contribute toward the cost of a Hill education is reviewed annually. Your contribution may increase, decrease, or remain the same depending on your financial circumstances in a given year.
For Divided Families
We believe that any responsibility for educational costs that the School may accept must come after the obligation of the student’s parents regardless of the personal or legal relationship between the two. Therefore the Financial Aid Committee will consider the resources of both natural parents. If the custodial parent has been remarried, the resources of the step-parent are also considered, bearing in mind the obligations of the step-parent to his or her own natural children. Therefore a standard PFS is submitted by the custodial parent (and step-parent), and a separate PFS must be received from the non-custodial parent. All information will be held in confidence.
