Financial Aid Process
NOTICE ON INCOME VERIFICATION: Due to recent changes in how the Internal Revenue Service processes income tax return transcript requests, Fairfield Prep no longer requires submission of IRS form 4506-T as part of the financial aid application process. However, Fairfield Prep does reserve the right to require submission of the IRS transcript request form at a later point, after financial aid award decisions have been made.
The purpose of this verification process is to ensure that the income tax return that is submitted to FACTS Management as part of a financial aid application is a bona fide copy of the original that was submitted to the Internal Revenue Service. In the event that the verification process shows a difference between what was submitted to the Internal Revenue Service and what was submitted to FACTS Management, Fairfield Prep reserves the right to revoke a financial aid award.
