Applying for Financial Aid

We believe every family should have the opportunity to explore an ISI education. To ensure a fair and confidential financial aid process, we partner with Clarity Financial Aid, an independent service that evaluates each family's financial circumstances and provides tuition assistance recommendations.

How to Apply

Step 1: Create Your Clarity Account
Visit the Clarity Financial Aid portal to create an account and begin your application.

https://app.clarityapp.com/sign-up

Step 2: Complete Your Application
Begin your application and add ISI Academy (it may also appear as International Sports Institute) to your student's application. You may save your progress and return at any time before submitting.

Step 3: Submit Your Financial Information
Enter your financial information, carefully review your application, and submit the required $65 Clarity application fee.

Step 4: Complete Tax Verification (U.S. Tax Filers Only)
Families who file U.S. taxes must complete the Enhanced Tax Verification (ETV) process to securely authorize the release of W-2s and tax return transcripts from the IRS.

Clarity offers two verification options:

  • Clarity Verification
  • IRS Verification

For detailed instructions, please refer to the Clarity Tax Verification Guide:

Helpful Tip:
Using the IRS Verification option is generally the fastest method, with documents often transferring within 24 hours. Creating an IRS.gov account before beginning your Clarity application can help make this process even smoother.

Step 5: Submit Your Application
Once your application has been submitted, return to your Clarity dashboard periodically to check for any additional document requests. Uploading requested documents promptly will help prevent delays in the financial aid review process.
