The Application Process
NMH has partnered with Clarity in our need-based scholarship application process. To begin, please create a Clarity Account.
Clarity's Family Application Guide offers step-by-step directions.
Please note: Clarity charges a $60 application fee. Clarity will automatically grant fee waivers for those who qualify based on need. If you do not receive a waiver but feel you qualify, please contact our office at finaid@nmhschool.org or 413-498-3237.
Families in the U.S.:
As part of the process, you will be asked to authorize the IRS to share your 2023 tax return directly to Clarity. Families who own businesses and international families will need to submit additional information, listed below.

- 2023 W2s/1099s or end-of-year pay stub.
- 2022 and 2021 IRS 1040 tax returns, signed, with all tax schedules, statements, and W2s/1099s.
