    • TaxStatus connects directly with the IRS (with your consent) to verify income, replacing manual tax
      document uploads.
    • To apply for aid, authorize secure sharing of your prior year IRS tax info through SSS.
    • Once verified, SSS estimates your family’s ability to pay.
    • Results are shared confidentially with Mrs. Schwabenton and the Head of School to determine awards.

Important Notes

    • Kenston Forest School is deeply committed to providing need-based financial aid.
    • Funds are limited, and not every application will result in an award.
    • Some awards may not cover full demonstrated need.
