How to Use CLARITY

At Old Trail School, we understand that applying for financial aid can sometimes feel overwhelming, which is why we’ve partnered with Clarity to streamline the process and make it as smooth as possible for families. Clarity is an easy-to-use, secure online platform that operates directly within your computer’s web browser, giving you the convenience of completing your financial aid application from anywhere.

Getting Started with Clarity

When you access Clarity for the first time, you’ll be prompted to create a new account by setting up a unique username and password. This allows you the flexibility to log in and out of your application at your convenience. You don’t need to worry about completing the entire application in one session—Clarity saves your progress, so you can take your time as needed.

Time Commitment

On average, the application will take about 30–45 minutes to complete once you have all the necessary financial documents and information on hand. We recommend gathering your paperwork in advance to ensure a smooth and efficient experience. These documents typically include income tax returns, W-2 forms, and other relevant financial information.

Step-By-Step Guide

We know that questions can arise while navigating the application, and we are here to help. Below, you'll find a series of helpful instructional videos designed to guide you step-by-step through the Clarity application process. These videos will cover everything from account setup to submitting your completed application, ensuring that you feel confident at every stage.
