Financial Aid
Cullman Christian School
Financial Aid Policy


OVERVIEW
Cullman Christian School desires to serve qualified students from
families of all economic means by keeping tuition rates as low as
possible and by developing non-tuition revenue sources for use in
establishing a financial aid program. It is also the desire of CCS  to
serve as many families as possible with the Financial Aid available
during any given school year.

ELIGIBILITY
  • In general, a family making less than $42,000 per year will
    usually qualify for aid.
  • Families making more than $42,000 may qualify also if the total
    tuition for all their children exceeds 10% of their income.
  • Aid is not available for preschool (K3, K4); aid is available for K5-
    12th grade.
  • When in doubt... please apply!



APPLYING FOR AID
We have hired  FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment to process all financial
aid applications.  They are a third party agency so no confidential
financial information is disclosed to the School. FACTS specializes in
unbiased Christian school financial aid analysis.  The analysis done by
FACTS does not guarantee aid nor does it keep CCS from awarding aid.
CCS will contact you, after we hear from FACTS, regarding the amount
of aid if any we can offer. Allow 3-4 weeks for processing. Deadline is
March 31st for returning students. New students may apply at any time
they enroll.

FACTS benefits for parents:
Apply online or on paper
Call center for application assistance (Spanish speaking reps
available)
All children listed on one application
Process is quick and easy
Safe, secure, compliant
FACTS collects a nonrefundable fee of $25 per family.


Families desiring to receive financial aid must:

1. Complete new or returning student applications
2. Begin financial aid process:



3. Be in continuing compliance with all the standards
contained in the “Admission Policy” of Cullman Christian
School.

4. Pay for all charges not covered by a Financial Aid
allocation by the due date shown.

5. Agree to volunteer to help with school with
fundraising events and one other support organization.
Please complete and sign the Parental Agreement.




AWARD DETERMINATIONS
The total amount of financial aid available in any school year is
determined by the CCS board of directors as part of the annual budget
process. FACTS will let CCS know what they calculate you can pay but
it does not guarantee a grant if funds are not available.

Financial Aid is only available for tuition assistance. Fees and other
incidental expenses are not covered by the Financial Aid Policy.
Financial Aid awards are determined annually but applied to accounts
monthly and are subject to withdrawal in the case of families/students
who fall out of compliance with any of the Eligibility requirements used
in determining the annual award. Additional discounts such as prepaid
tuition do not apply to scholarship recipients

The amount of financial aid awarded to any individual family is solely
the discretion of Cullman Christian School.




Cullman Christian School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic
origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or
made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of
race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies,
admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other
school-administered programs.
