one of their parents. The interview is required to help the Financial Aid Committee in assessing the student’s need. The parent
should bring to the interview the originals of the documents submitted with the application. Newly admitted students who live
outside Lebanon will be asked to send certified copies of supporting documents and may be asked to come for the interview after
registering.
Important Reminders

Only complete applications (including all required documents) will be processed.
•
Financial aid applications are valid for one academic year only. A new application is required for each new academic year.

An interview is required of parents and applicants residing in Lebanon before the student is granted financial aid for the first
time. Further interviews may be required if a student was not granted aid and is reapplying, and/or if additional clarification is
required.
•
House visits could be scheduled to further assess the applicant’s financial need.
