FAST processes information submitted by families and provides The Wellington School with a needs-based financial aid analysis. The Wellington School utilizes the financial aid analysis to determine financial aid awards.
The link to FAST can be found on The Wellington School website at www.wellington.org. Pull down the Admissions Tab and select Paying for a Wellington Education. Financial Aid is located in the green box on the right-hand side of the page. The fee for filing with FAST is $36. The form is not complete until the fee has been submitted by credit card. Families seeking financial aid should complete the FAST process between October 1, 2012 and February 4, 2013 for first round financial aid and admissions decisions. The information submitted in the financial aid application should be based on the tax and financial information for the 2011 tax year.
Families applying after February 4, 2013 should complete the process as soon as possible, as financial applications received after that date will be reviewed by The Wellington School subject to availability of remaining financial aid dollars.
Prospective students will be notified on March 1, 2013 of admissions decisions. Students admitted will receive contracts of acceptance with a provisional financial aid award amount based on the 2011 financial and tax information. The provisional award indicates the amount of aid that will be awarded subject to review of the 2012 tax documents and W-2s, as soon as the documents are available. If this provisional award amount is acceptable, a $250 deposit and signed provisional contract is due on the date indicated.
The Ackerman and Duke Scholarships cover a part of the annual tuition and honor academic performance, potential for leadership and strong character.
Scholarship recipients will be selected on the basis of test results, transcripts, a writing exercise and teacher recommendations. Once awarded, students will continue to receive the partial scholarship each year, provided the student maintains at least a 3.3 grade point average and is a member in good standing of the Wellington community.
Prospective students should complete a Wellington Admissions application prior to participating in The Ackerman or Duke Scholarships competition. Prospective students should call The Wellington School Admissions Office for an admissions packet or complete the admissions application and other related admission forms online.

Families are required to forward a copy of their full 2012 income tax return to FAST (including schedule C for business owners) along with a copy of all W-2s and income earning documents once the information is completed. Families must also include Schedule 1120S/K-1 for the previous year if the family is a shareholder of an S corporation or member of a business partnership. If a family conducts business through any other form of entity or “DBA”, they must provide tax documents for the previous year. If an extension is filed, families should notify the Admissions Office of the expected date the tax filing will be complete. All tax forms, schedules and tax reporting documents should be mailed to:
Please write “The Wellington School” on the outside of the envelope for faster processing.
FAST will verify the tax information and advise the Admissions Office of any significant change in financial aid award qualifications. If there are no changes to the financial aid award, families will receive a confirmation email that the award remains the same and the student is officially enrolled. If there are changes, families will receive an amended contract with an explanation of the award change. If the award change is unacceptable, the contract will be voided and the deposit will be refunded.
