Woodland uses School and Student Services to process tuition assistance applications. You may apply by visiting the SSS website for Families at http://sssbynais.org/parents and clicking "Complete Your PFS."

No. Admission applications are read without regard for a family’s ability to pay. 

We use information from the School and Student Services for Financial Assistance (SSS), along with materials each family sends directly to us as the basis for calculating the size of the award. SSS makes a need assessment using information that families provide through a standardized form.

Yes. We ask that you apply for tuition assistance with your application for admission. In the event your family situation has changed, you are welcome to apply for tuition assistance after enrollment. If you qualify - and funds are available - tuition assistance may be awarded.

The amount of money you receive depends on your need and the number of other families requesting assistance. If your financial circumstances remain the same, you can generally expect to receive approximately the same size award each year. For example, if you initially received half the total tuition and there is no change in your financial situation, you will most likely receive half of the total tuition again the next year that you apply.

Yes. You may re-apply each year for tuition assistance, especially if your family situation has changed.

Award decision evaluations are based on income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. Each family’s financial situation is different, and income alone is not a good indicator of whether you will qualify for assistance. We encourage you to apply.

To create a new account, please visit the SSS Website for Families at http://sssbynais.org/parents and clicking "Complete Your PFS." 

Parents can create an account by clicking on "Create An Account" on the left side of the Family Portal login page. You will be asked to provide some profile information as well as answers to security questions which will be used to assist in re-setting your password should you need to do so in the future. You then will be emailed a link to create a new password. If you don't see the email in your inbox, you should check your junk mail and spam folders.

Please note the person you list in your account profile when logging in for the first time will automatically be listed as Parent A on the PFS and cannot be changed. While Parent A does not need to be the head of household, it does need to be the name of a custodial parent and NOT the student applicant.

No. The tuition assistance process is confidential. Students, parents and faculty members do not know which families receive awards.

Yes. If you are having issues with accessing or creating accounts, please call SSS Support at 800-344-8328.
