Financial Aid

Online Application Process

Parents of current St. Thomas High School students as well as parents of applicants to St. Thomas High School have the option of submitting their financial applications on-line via the Financial Aid Independent Review (FAIR) website. Each school has a unique school code and password (assigned by FAIR) that families will need in order to access and complete the on-line application for your school.

The web address for on-line applications is: http://www.fairapp.com/

The school code for St. Thomas High School is: 121

The school password for St. Thomas High School is: sths121

In order for families to apply online, they will need the following:

1. The School Code and School Password

2. A valid email address

3. A credit card to complete payment processing (Visa or Mastercard)

4. A complete copy of their 2010 Federal Income Tax Return with all schedules and W-2s.

5. A copy of their 2011 W-2s or last two payroll checks stubs for the year

In order to begin the application process parents should go to http://www.fairapp.com/ and click on the "Online Application" link. They can then create a user account using their email address and a password that they select. Once they have created a user account and signed in they will be able to complete the FAIR application online.

Once a family has completed the application process they will receive a confirmation page that verifies FAIR has received their application as well as an email reconfirming receipt (families submitting paper applications will receive a postcard confirming receipt of their application). The confirmation page and the email will also remind them to submit their tax return to FAIR as soon as possible.

(Note: If we have not received their tax return within 14 days after the submit their application on-line then FAIR will send them a letter reminding them that they still need to send in their tax return in order to fully complete a review of their application.)
