How to apply for financial aid

Families that wish to be considered for financial aid should submit their financial aid application by February 15. Plan to spend at least one to two hours on the financial aid application. 

HMI uses School and Student Services (SSS), a service of Community Brands, to process financial aid applications. SSS provides schools with an estimated amount each family can contribute to educational expenses, allowing us to make fair and objective financial aid decisions.

Your application will not be considered complete until you have uploaded all available tax forms from the most recent year available including forms 1040, W2, 1099, and Schedules A-F (if applicable). For example, if you are applying for financial aid in January 2025, you must submit all 2023 tax forms. If your financial situation changed significantly in the past year, we encourage you to upload any tax documents you have already received for the year that just concluded (2021 in this example).

There is a $60 fee to submit your financial aid application through SSS. This fee is automatically waived for families making below a certain income level. If the fee is not automatically waived, and you feel that you cannot afford this fee, please contact us for a fee waiver. 

To begin your financial aid application please visit the SSS Family Resources page page and click the “Login to complete or update your PFS” button to create an account. When prompted to “Enter SSS Code,” input 2096 for HMI.

The SSS Family Resources page also has more information on how to complete a financial aid application. If you have questions about the SSS application, please call the SSS Help Desk directly, at 800-344-8328.

Financial aid policies​

  1. For priority consideration, the financial aid application should be completed by the same date as the general application deadline (January 15).
  2. No financial aid application will be reviewed until all supporting tax forms have been uploaded to SSS for verification purposes. Families must upload all 2023 tax forms (including all of the following forms that apply: 1040, W2, 1099, and Schedules A-F) and any 2024 tax forms that have already been received. 
  3. All financial aid awards, with the exception of the Lake County High School Merit Scholarships, are need-based as determined by SSS and the HMI Financial Aid Committee.
  4. Parents are expected to support the student to the extent they are able, as determined by SSS and HMI. Financial aid is awarded based on a family’s ability to pay, not desire to pay.
  5. In cases of divorce or separation, each parent should complete their own PFS.
  6. If either parent remarries, the financial information of the stepparent must be included on the PFS.
  7. All financial aid records are kept confidential. Only the HMI Financial Aid Committee has access to financial aid information.
