Financial Aid
Any future or current Bright family may apply for need-based financial aid through Clarity.
An admissions application must be completed for a future student before beginning the financial aid process.
Bright provides approximately $300,000 in financial aid each year.
Please carefully read our school's financial aid policies. These policies guide all financial aid decisions.
Our financial aid program is designed to make a Bright School education possible for families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. We have partnered with Clarity Financial Aid to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share. The application is mobile-friendly and fully translated into Spanish.

The financial aid application will open on December 1, 2025.
Complete your application and pay the $65 Clarity application fee.
You'll be asked to authorize the sharing of your tax transcripts and verify your identity. This is a one-time security measure required by the IRS to protect against identity theft and the compromise of personal information. Only those filing US taxes will be prompted to complete this step.
Non-U.S. tax filers may be prompted to upload income verification and other necessary documentation. Keep in mind that at a later date, you may be prompted by the school via Clarity to upload additional documentation as needed.
You can save your application and log out at any time and return later to complete it.
For questions about the Clarity financial aid application, please review this information.
