Financial Aid


The financial aid application for the 2026–27 school year is now open!

At Smith Street Maternelle, we are committed to fostering diversity and equity, and our tuition assistance program is designed to help make our Moyenne and Grande Sections accessible to all families, regardless of financial circumstances. We partner with School and Student Services (SSS) to manage our financial aid process. To apply, families must complete the SSS financial aid application, also known as the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS), through the SSS Family Portal.

By submitting your application, you authorize SSS to review your financial information, estimate your ability to contribute to school expenses, and share that estimate with us. This process allows you to apply for multiple schools with just one application and fee.

The deadline to submit your application is December 15, 2025. Tuition assistance decisions are shared at the same time as admissions notifications in February.

How to Access and Complete the SSS Financial Aid Application

Visit the SSS Family Portal.
Please use our school code: 200228

  1. Create your Family Portal account with your email address and a password. If you applied for financial aid last year, log in as a Returning Family using your previous credentials.

  2. Complete the application for the 2026–27 Academic Year. You can log out and return at any time to finish.

  3. Once all sections are complete, the “Submit & Pay” button will activate. Follow the prompts to proceed to payment. Please note that the $60 fee is nonrefundable and once submitted, your application cannot be withdrawn from the SSS system.

Next Steps:

After submitting your application and payment, you will need to upload required documents by their respective deadlines. We will communicate our financial aid decisions directly to you. The deadline for submission is January 15.

Tuition assistance packages will be communicated alongside admissions acceptance letters in March. Our decisions will be based on the information provided in the SSS application, along with our school policies, practices, and available budget.
