Tuition Assistance

RCDS offers tuition aid grants to families based on financial need. Each family receiving a tuition grant is expected to contribute positively to the school community, to maintain an acceptable academic standard, and demonstrate positive social behavior. In the 2011 school year, 42% of families received some level of tuition assistance.

Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) provides a framework through which household need can be measured fairly and equitably. Recommendations from TADS are used by the Rockland Country Day School to award tuition assistance in accordance with its policies to determine the award amount. The school will mail final awards notices.

Applications for tuition assistance may be completed online at http://www.tuitionaid.com. A $34.00 processing fee is made payable to TADS. Failure to pay the processing fee may delay the evaluation.

The following supporting documentation must be submitted to TADS via mail or fax prior to the application due date:

• Household members’ most recently completed federal tax forms (personal and businesses owned)
• W-2′s from each job held by household members
• Most recent pay stub from each job held by household members
• Documents that establish the amount of miscellaneous monthly or yearly income you currently receive (i.e., welfare, food stamps, unemployment, workers’ compensation, etc.,)
• All corporate, partnership, and trust forms if a household member owns 20% or more interest in a corporation, partnership or trust

You may contact TADS for assistance in completing the application or to check application status. TADS does not have award information.
