Questions About Clarity

We have chosen Clarity as our financial aid application to serve our current and prospective families better. We are confident that this change is going to make the process of applying for financial aid easier for families.

Clarity offers a streamlined, mobile-friendly application that can be completed in as short a time as 20 minutes. Additionally, if you apply before December 1, Clarity removes the need to upload your 2021 W2 and 1040 by transferring them directly from the IRS. This reduces the amount of information you will need to enter manually and makes it possible to complete the application quickly and efficiently.

The Harvey School takes the privacy and security of your personal information very seriously. Clarity is certified for GDPR and SOC2 and uses enterprise-level security standards, including end-to-end encryption of all personally identifiable information. For more information, please refer Clarity's Privacy Policy.
