Clarity App: Overview + FAQs

Why did North Park choose Clarity?

We have chosen Clarity as our financial aid application provider in order to better serve both our current and prospective families. We are confident that this change is going to make the process of applying for financial aid easier for families.

How does Clarity make it easier for me to apply for financial aid?

Clarity offers a streamlined, mobile friendly application that can be completed in as short a time as 30 minutes. Additionally, Clarity removes the need to upload your W2 and 1040 documents by transferring them directly from the IRS. This reduces the amount of information that you will need to enter manually and makes it possible to complete the application quickly and efficiently.

Is my information secure with Clarity?
North Park takes the privacy and security of your personal information very seriously. Clarity is certified for both GDPR and SOC2 and uses enterprise-level security standards including end-to-end encryption of all personally identifiable information. For more information, please refer to Clarity’s Privacy Policy.

Will I still need to apply every year?

Yes, you will need to submit a Clarity application each year in order to qualify for financial aid; however, Clarity retains your information from previous applications, so it will be even easier to reapply.

Can I complete my Clarity application on my phone or tablet?

Yes! Clarity’s application is fully mobile-friendly so you have access wherever you are.

When do I need to apply?
You must submit your full completed application by March 4, 2025, for 12U players and younger, and by April 4, 2025, for 14U players and older.

How much does it cost to apply?
For families who have already used Clarity for their 2024–’25 school applications, there is no charge. For new users, the $60 fee per application is paid directly to Clarity to process the documents and retrieve the tax documents.
