Carter Christian Academy has teamed up with FAST, an independent firm that focuses only on Financial Aid for Private Schools. FAST automates the process from start to finish so all information can be uploaded, viewed electronically, and submitted all while being in the comfort of your home. Since the application is electronic, there is no fussing with paper copies, post office runs, or losing important documents. While the application process is extremely user-friendly, FAST also provides a User Guide and help bubbles for each question within the application itself for added support.Their Help center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If you have any questions while completing the application process, please call 1-877-326-FAST (3278), and you will be walked through the process without any hassle. How Financial Aid Works: A certain amount of Financial Aid Dollars, Tuition Assistance, and Scholarships are set aside before the school year begins. Those dollars are separate from other line items in the budget and vary from year to year. This amount will change based on enrollment. Families that apply will be placed into the system electronically with all tax forms verified prior to the school receiving the applications. Once all paperwork is fully submitted, the school will receive the information to view. After the deadline to submit applications has passed, a committee will view financial information for each family that has requested Financial Aid and awards will be given based on income. All families will be determined solely based upon income or extenuating Financial circumstances and no other criteria. Once a family has been chosen for a Financial Award, a letter will be sent outlining the Award, tuition schedule, and the deadline date the parent must accept the Award by before others would be considered. The parent must sign the Award letter, submit it to the Administration Office, and register for the upcoming school year. Before You Apply: Families may apply by clicking on the FAST logo above, once you have applied and have been accepted to CCA. Please have your past year's tax returns, any Financial forms needed to verify your income (including, but not limited to child support verification, rental property income, tithe receipts, etc.). The system does allow you to save your progress if you find you don't have everything you need to apply. Deadlines: All completed Financial Aid applications must be submitted prior to April 18, 2016. No forms will be accepted after that time. Families who receive Awards must have their signed statement and be registered for the upcoming school year no later than May 19, 2016. The Registration Fee, signed Award Letter, signed Commitments (Statement of Faith, Parent Pledge of Acceptance, Standard of Conduct, Media Consent Form, and Student Computer Policy) are all due by May 19th. |
