Starting in September, you are able to go to the Clarity Application, which provides Windward with an estimated family contribution based on income, assets, family size, debts, and liabilities. We consider this recommendation and make adjustments as merited.

To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.

Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as Windward requires you to upload additional tax documentation including 2021 1040s and W2s, if applicable.

Returning student applications must be submitted by January 5, 2024.
New student applications must be submitted by February 1, 2024.

If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at support@clarityapp.com or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.

You can also reach out to Susan Marx, Director of Financial Aid (424) 289-1005.
