FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Will you send me a bill each month if I'm participating in the FACTS plan?

No. Your bank statement will show the amount withdrawn each month from your account. The contract that you sign at the time of your interview or at re-registration time will indicate your monthly payment and the date of withdrawal. You will receive a copy of this agreement.

 2. I prefer not to pay tuition through my checking or savings account. It is too difficult to keep records. What can I do?

You can open an account for your student's tuition, deposit the amount of the tuition to be withdrawn on a monthly or quarterly basis, or you can pay in full by July 15th. 

3. What if we must withdraw our student, and I have paid in full? Will I get a refund?

Yes. Your tuition is pro-rated on a quarterly basis. You will be charged a full quarter for any portion of the quarter that your student attends CVCA. The balance will be refunded.

4. When and how do I apply for financial aid?

As soon as your student has re-registered or applied for the upcoming school year, and the registration or application fee is paid, you should ask for financial aid forms from the Accounting Manageral Coordinator. These must be submitted by March 31.

5. How is my financial aid taken off my balance?

Financial Aid is awarded before your first payment. The Finance Office informs F.A.C.T.S. Management of the amount of the decrease, and a new balance and monthly payment are generated. You will receive a letter stating your new balance and your new monthly payment.

6. How much aid will I receive if I apply?

The amount of aid depends primarily on financial need. Other factors such as student activities, academic progress, volunteer involvement, and the number of children attending Christian schools are also considered. The maximum award is up to 50% of total tuition.

7. Do I have to apply for aid every year?

Yes! Circumstances may change during a school year, so we must obtain new information each year to make a decision.

8. I am a pastor. Do I have to apply for financial aid?

Yes. The same procedures apply to pastors. All financial aid is based on need.

9. What other kinds of aid are available?

Additional financial assistance may come from your church or someone interested in Christian Education. We are not responsible to solicit these funds; you must inquire about such help. Also, tuition can be reduced by participating in our TRIP program.
