How to Apply

Step One
Dana Hall uses School and Student Services (SSS) by NAIS to assess a family's need. To apply for financial assistance through SSS, please use this link. This link will allow for easier account creation for new families and will associate your Ravenna account with your SSS account.
 
Once you create your SSS account, you will be prompted to link your Ravenna account with your SSS account. Complete the Parent Financial Statement (PFS) and submit it through the family portal.
 
You may estimate earnings for the 2020 tax year if you have not yet completed your tax return. Each parent must complete and submit a PFS if divorced, separated, or filing separate tax returns.
 
Dana Hall's school code is 2728.
 
Step Two
Upload your 2018 and 2019 tax documents, including W-2 forms and 1040 forms, all supporting schedules, and Business/Farm Statements, if applicable, to your family portal in SSS, in accordance with the financial aid timeline. This applies to both parents if divorced, separated, or filing separately.

Step Three
Upload your 2020 tax documents, including W-2 forms and 1040 forms, all supporting schedules, and Business/Farm Statements, if applicable, to your family portal in SSS. This applies to both parents if divorced, separated, or filing separately.

    "Dana offers many great opportunities including a trip to South Africa every other year. I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d be visiting South Africa, let alone with some of my closest friends. The trip enabled us to interact with real South Africans as they experienced their real lives, an opportunity I could never have had as a tourist."
