Parents are required to disclose any other awards or financial assistance received on behalf of the student as part of their financial aid application. These amounts will be considered in the determination of the financial aid awarded. If an outside award is received after financial aid has been awarded by Mayfield Senior School, the school reserves the right to reevaluate its financial aid award and adjust accordingly.
