ExplanationCOMMONWEALTH REQUIRES ALL FAMILIES ASKING FOR FINANCIAL GRANT AWARDS TO COMPLETE A FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION. THE APPLICATION FOR AID INCLUDES COMPLETING AN APPLICATION WITH CLARITY, OUR FINANCIAL AID PROVIDER, WHICH IS AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY THAT DETERMINES WHAT THE FAMILY CAN CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS EDUCATIONAL COSTS. THE APPLICATION ALSO INCLUDES PARENTS' FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, FEDERAL TAX RETURNS, AND W-2S. ALL FINANCIAL GRANT AWARDS ARE DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF NEED AND ON A RACIALLY NON-DISCRIMINATORY BASIS AS DETERMINED BY CLARITY AND THE DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS AND FINANCIAL AID USING ALL INFORMATION OBTAINED IN THE APPLICATION. ONCE THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE RECEIVES ALL FINANCIAL MATERIALS PERTAINING TO THE APPLICATION, THE COMMITTEE WILL REVIEW EACH FAMILY'S REQUEST. CONSIDERATION FOR AID IS MADE AFTER A STUDENT HAS BEEN DEEMED ADMISSIBLE AT COMMONWEALTH. ONCE THE AWARD HAS BEEN GIVEN AND THE STUDENT ENROLLS AT COMMONWEALTH, THE BUSINESS OFFICE IS GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF THE AWARD TO PROCESS AGAINST THE STUDENT ACCOUNT. THESE FUNDS ARE PART OF COMMONWEALTH'S OPERATING BUDGET AND THE BUSINESS OFFICE PRODUCES REPORTS IN ORDER TO VERIFY AGAINST THE FINAL FINANCIAL AID REPORTS TO STUDENT BILLING.ExplanationTxt
