Financial Aid

Every student’s family may apply for need-based Financial Aid.

  • The deadline for prospective families to apply is February 1.
  • The deadline for returning families to apply is December 15 (returning families who are new to Financial Aid should notify the Admission Office by December 1).

About 25% of families receive some Financial Aid each year. Beaver does not award merit scholarships.

The Financial Aid process is separate from the Admission Process and the Financial Aid application must be re-submitted every year. Decisions are made by the Financial Aid Committee at Beaver and are based on the reporting system called Clarity.

  • Indicate your interest in applying for Financial Aid on the Application for Admission through Ravenna no later than January 1.
  • Complete the online application through Clarity (click here) and request that the report be sent to Beaver by February 1. If separated, divorced, or never married, all parents must complete an application. Be sure to complete all items and provide clear explanations.

Applicant families will be notified if they will receive a Financial Aid grant on March 10, along with their admission decision.

Steps to Apply for Financial Aid: Returning Families

All returning families must apply for Financial Aid every year. Please let the Admission Office know if your financial situation has changed or if you will be applying for aid for the first time by December 1.

  • Complete the online application through Clarity (click here) by December 15 and request that the report be sent to Beaver. If separated, divorced, or never married, all parents must submit an application. Be sure to complete all items and provide clear explanations.

Returning families will be notified of their Financial Aid award when they receive their re-enrollment contract for the 2025-2026 school year in February. Awards are conditional upon the receipt of all 2024 tax documents.

Returning families submitting a Financial Aid application for the first time will be notified of the Financial Aid decision in early April.
