TADS Financial Aid and SSS merged applications into a single, cost-effective application hosted on Salesforce. Families no longer need to fill out multiple applications or pay duplicate fees when applying to multiple schools. The consolidated TADS and SSS portal offers user-friendly tools and support, advancing the mission of accessible private education for all families. Plus, it provides schools with more options to find a system that suits their needs and goals.
“ We feel much more confident of the quality of the information we are getting about the family’s situation. We are still able to make our award decisions according to the principles and guidelines we set, but based on fair, comprehensive, and equalizing information.”

The TADS formula was created by industry experts in the early 1980s and is customizable to meet individual school requirements. The application collects information regarding the family’s income, expenses, debts, and household makeup to provide you with an estimate of what the family can afford to contribute toward tuition at your school.
TADS provides your school with an estimated family contribution to education based on the information provided on the family’s application. This estimated family contribution, paired with a variety of canned reports available in the system, allows your team to make data-driven decisions regarding your financial aid budgets. You can create awarding buckets to manage your financial aid or scholarship grants and easily award families from these buckets. The TADS system has a notification system where you can create awarding templates to notify families of your decision.
You can follow the application status and view preliminary results as soon as the application is entered. In addition, you will receive updates as the applicant completes the process.
TADS will retain your data for a minimum of five years. Three years of data is readily available online.
