WRA bases aid decisions on demonstrated need, which is defined as the difference between the amount of money a family can afford to contribute and the cost of tuition. The family's contribution is calculated according to information provided on the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS), which is created by the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS).
To apply, please visit the SSS website and complete the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) online. SSS opens their application process on October 2.
