Third Street accepts applications for financial aid online. Financial aid applications are processed through School and Student Services (SSS).
Returning students are given priority for need-based financial aid. Any student that has a completed application on file for 2019-20 (including Summer 2019) will have their award amount automatically renewed for 2020-21 (including Summer 2020). However, if family income or financial circumstances have changed significantly you are welcome to submit an application for 2020-21.
The school is still accepting financial aid applications.
