Apply for Flexible Tuition

OES uses School and Student Services for Financial Aid (SSS) to help determine a family’s ability to pay tuition. The service and process, used by over 2100 schools nationwide, help ensure that schools use a consistent and objective procedure to evaluate a family’s ability to pay tuition.

Because Flexible Tuition is limited, it is important to complete the application on time and to fully disclose your financial situation before the deadline.

Common Questions

My 2017 and 2018 tax returns are very different from my current situation, can I submit my 2019 tax return?

YES! The Parent Financial Statement (PFS) will allow you to indicate areas where your situation has changed. If a family has completed their 2019 tax returns and would like to include them in their application, they may submit as "additional documents" in the PFS. 

How do I submit the supporting documents?

Document upload is available in the Parent Financial Statement (PFS) only after it has been submitted. If you do not have a scanner at home or at your workplace, drop by the Admissions office and we will assist you.

What is Form 4506-T and how do I complete it?

Form 4506-T is required for all families applying for Flexible Tuition. This standard IRS form allows OES to request an official copy of your tax return (if ever needed). Follow the quick reference guide for tips on how to complete the form. Forms should be uploaded to the PFS or dropped off in the OES Admissions office. Do not mail the 4506-T to the IRS.
