We Will Communicate Decisions About Financial Aid by Mail in the Month of March 2017

October 2016

Dear Parents,

Once again this year, Padua Academy will use the SSS Financial Aid Form. Online enrollment will open up on October 24th for the 2017-2018 school year. Please note even if you received financial aid this year, you must reapply for 2017-2018 school year. The awarding of financial aid one year does not guarantee the awarding of aid in subsequent years. To be eligible for consideration for financial aid at Padua Academy, you must complete an application and submit all required forms to SSS by January 31, 2017.

We will communicate decisions about financial aid by mail in the month of March 2017.

**If you are a parishioner of St. Anthony of Paduayou will need to apply through St. Anthony’s Parish for financial aid. You will need to contact the parish directly at 302-421-3700.

To begin your financial aid application for the 2017-2018 school year, follow these steps below:

ONLINE (Preferred Choice)

  1. Please go to
  2. Click on the prompt to begin your Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS). (You only have to complete one PFS even if you have several children applying to our school.)
  3. You will be given instructions about submitting required backup documents (2015 W-2 & 2015 Tax Forms, as well as your 2016 W-2 when received) by mail or uploading to SSS. Your documents will be handled with the utmost level of security. To read more about SSS’s document security, go to sss.nais.org. If you have questions in regards to submitting documentation, please contact SSS at 800-344-8328.
  4. Mail the required documents to SSS by NAIS, Application Processing Center, P.O. Box 449, Randolph, MA 02368-0449. (For overnight mail, use this address: SSS by NAIS, Application Processing Center, 437 Turnpike Street, Canton, MA 02021.)

We recognize the economic sacrifice this may require for your family to permit your daughter to attend Padua Academy. Our financial resources are quite limited and we give assistance to as many families as possible. If you have any questions regarding the Financial Aid process, please contact the Business Office, at 302-421-3739.

Sincerely,

Padua Academy
