FINANCIAL AID ASSISTANCE

KIRSCH/FLETT SCHOLARSHIP FUND

This fund honors the 35^th ministry anniversaries of former teacher/principal Roger Kirsch and teacher Doug Flett. It provides assistance to families facing life-changing circumstances that limit their ability to pay tuition. The St. Peter Lutheran School, Kirsch Flett Scholarship program is designed to make a St. Peter Lutheran School education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. St. Peter is proud to use Clarity Financial Aid to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information families share in the application, including assets, income, expenses, and debts. The application is mobile-friendly and fully translated into Spanish. Complete the following steps.

Step 1

Go to https://app.clarityapp.com/sign-up

Step 2

Begin your application and add St. Peter Lutheran School, Schaumburg, to your student applicant entry. You can save your application, log out at any time, and return later to complete it.

Step 3

Enter your financial information, review your application, and pay the $65 Clarity application fee.

Step 4

US taxpayers: Complete the Clarity Enhanced Tax Verification (ETV) process to release your W2 and personal tax return transcripts from the IRS. You'll be asked to authorize the sharing of your tax transcripts and verify your identity. This is a one-time security measure required by the IRS to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information. Only those filing US taxes will be prompted to complete this step. Clarity offers two options for enhanced tax verification process: “Clarity” and “IRS”. Please reference the Tax Verification Guide to preview the steps of this process.

The IRS pathway is significantly faster, allowing tax documents to be transferred to Clarity within 24 hours. Clarity has found that families who have an IRS.gov account before starting the Clarity Application have a much easier time completing the process.

Step 5

Submit your Clarity application and follow the link to return to your dashboard. Here you will see any additional supporting documents requested by St. Peter. Upload your supporting documents by. Non-U.S. tax filers may be prompted to upload income verification and other necessary documentation. Keep in mind that at a later date, you may be prompted by the school via Clarity to upload additional documentation as needed.
