Financial aid for the upcoming school year opens each January. Our third party independent evaluator, TADS Grant and Aid Assessment, will conduct a financial needs analysis for each BCS family applying for tuition assistance. All families applying for financial aid for the upcoming school year must

1. Complete a TADS application online at the TADS website. All information is kept strictly confidential.
2. Pay TADS a $34 non-refundable application fee at time of application.
3. Collect all required tax and supporting documentation and submit these documents to TADS within 7 days to complete the application.
4. Notify the BCS Financial Aid Coordinator, that an application has been submitted.

Once you have submitted your online financial aid application, fees, and all required documentation to TADS, your application will be reviewed.

The following information is required for TADS to process your application:

• Completed online application along with the $34 non-refundable application fee (paid online to TADS)
• Copies of most recent Federal tax forms, including all supporting tax schedules (Must be the 1040 or 1040EZ form, not a preview or summary of taxes.)
• Copies of most recent W-2 form or Self-employed form 1099 for both parents/guardians.

These additional documents may be required:

• Copies of supporting documentation for social security income, welfare, child support, food stamps, workers’ compensation, as well as other documents TADS requests.

Financial aid award notification will be sent via email. All award recipients must print, sign and return their financial aid award notification letter to the BCS Business office for award to be accepted. Awards will be made on a rolling basis in the order that the applications are received, until financial aid fund is exhausted. IMPORTANT – It is the applicant’s responsibility to notify the BCS Financial Aid Coordinator of all updates to contact information (address, phone numbers and email), as this is how you will be notified by the school.
