  The Linsly School uses ISM FAST to store all financial information. Only the members of the financial aid committee have access to this information.

  When completing the ISM FAST application or PFS through Student and School Solutions (SSS), you may use your previous year tax information or the current year information. We know some families will not have their current year information completed by January 1. In these cases, please contact the Admissions Office.

• We received financial aid for the first year, will we receive the same amount in the years to follow?
