“Additional financial assistance provided to students: ravenscroft uses an outside service to collect and process financial aid applicants' financial information. This service is provided by tads on a nondiscriminatory basis. Applicants submit their family financial information to tads for processing. A summary report of the family financial information is generated and sent to ravenscroft school. Once this report is received the financial aid committee reviews the report and makes awards considering the information provided in that report. Applicants are required to provide supporting documentation of the information provided on the tads application. In addition to the financial assistance awarded through the above process, the school maintains five financial aid endowments as well as four scholarship endowments to benefit students that meet the selection criteria for each endowment. Assistance is awarded based on specific criteria such as the student being enrolled in an academic skills program, disadvantaged with financial need, a member of a minority class, excel in fine arts and other selected criteria. The additional endowments are intended to support, promote and enhance the overall composition of the school's academic, minority and socially diverse community.”
