When you apply for financial aid, you are required to give the school detailed financial information. This may include a copy of your and your parents' federal income tax returns.

While this information is necessary to verify application statements, we appreciate the sensitive nature of individual tax returns. We hold all financial information you entrust to us in strictest confidence.

You also should know that each school is bound by the provisions of the Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. This law regulates the release of any personal information.
