Welcome!

BY MY SIDE has chosen to use FAST – Financial Aid for School Tuition – by Independent School Management (ISM) to process your financial aid application. ISM will provide standardized and impartial processing in a confidential setting. If you would like to know more about how ISM protects your privacy, please utilize the form on the right to contact BY MY SIDE for further information.

We hope that you will find this application easy to complete online. There are a number of financial records you will need. Once you have gathered your financial information, it takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete the application online. Gathering your financial information is similar to collecting information to file your taxes and takes about the same length of time. You do not have to complete the entire application at one time. Your user name and password will allow you to access your data until you have completed the payment section

There is a $34 US application fee, payable by credit card (MasterCard or Visa.) If you do not have a credit card, you may purchase a voucher from BY MY SIDE that will allow you to complete the application.

BY MY SIDE will utilize the online service of Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) to process applications. FAST will be the standard submission format for all applications.

FAST does not decide whether financial assistance will be given or how much to give; rather FAST provides a need-based financial aid analysis service which includes a recommendation of what a family should reasonably contribute toward therapy cost. All information from FAST is kept confidential. Results are reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee who makes recommendations to BY MY SIDE’s executive team. Upon approval by BY MY SIDE’s executive team, financial aid offers are then sent to families.
