How to Apply for Indexed Tuition
How to Apply
Indexed Tuition is a flexible tuition pricing plan based on each family's specific financial situation. Harford Day uses the Clarity Application to determine a family’s eligibility for Indexed Tuition.
To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is mobile-friendly so you may complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.
