  • Financial Aid

    The access to 2023-24 Financial Aid application is closed.

    The 2024-25 Financial Aid Application will open on November 1, 2023.

    The SJ23 Financial Aid program is designed to make a SJ23 education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. SJ23 is proud to use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.

    To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools. Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application.  

    The deadline for completing the financial aid application including relevant supplemental documents is January 31, 2024.

    If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at support@clarityapp.com or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish.
