Financial Aid
At Colorado Rocky Mountain School, we use School and Student Services (SSS) to process financial aid applications. SSS is a service of the National Association of Independent Schools. Based on the financial information you provide, SSS gives us an estimated amount your family can contribute to educational expenses. This helps us make fair and objective financial aid decisions. To begin your financial aid application for the 2010-11 school year, follow these steps below.

• Starting on December 1, 2009, go to sss.nais.org.
• Click on the prompt to begin your Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS). You only have to complete one PFS even if you have several children applying to our school. 
• You will be given a password that will allow you to return to your PFS at a later date before submitting it.
• You will be given instructions about submitting required backup documents by mail. Your documents will be handled with the utmost level of security. To read more about SSS’s document security, go to sss.nais.org. 
• Mail the required documents to:

SSS by NAIS, Application Processing Center
P.O. Box 449, Randolph, MA 02368-0449.

For overnight mail, use this address:

SSS by NAIS, Application Processing Center

Note: If you apply for financial aid online, your information will be delivered more quickly to our school, allowing us to make a faster decision about your eligibility for financial aid.

In response to Colorado Rocky Mountain School's long history with Native American culture, endowments that support three Native American scholarships were funded through generous donations from alumni and parents.  CRMS is also working to support Latino scholarships through the Annual Fund and a new endowment.

Through a financial-aid budget of approximately $900,000, more than 40 percent of CRMS students receive financial assistance.
