SCHOOL-WIDE ANNOUNCEMENTS
THANK YOU!
Thank you, all, for your help in making this year’s Royal Evening a very special night. Through your help with class baskets, donations, sponsorships, and countless volunteer hours, we were able to directly impact students by funding tuition assistance! We are so thankful for this community of generosity! There are still a few remaining auction items available online HERE, and it’s not too late to donate. Thank you, again, for helping make CVCA possible for many of our students!
OEC Renewal for ALL Families
All families must renew their OEC application to CVCA through the Google Form on our website in order to remain eligible for OEC tuition dollars.
Simply go to our EdChoice Page for the forms and instructions required for renewal. Remember your OEC application renewal must be submitted to CVCA through the Google Form on our website.
- After we have processed your renewal forms, you will receive an email with further instructions to help you determine if income verification is needed.
- Most families will NOT need to submit income verification.
- Submitting income verification unnecessarily could cause a reduction to the amount of your OEC scholarship award, as explained HERE.
Please contact Sarah Kuznicki at skuznicki@cvcaroyals.org, if you have any questions.
Tuition Assistance Deadline March 31!
We understand that families investing in a CVCA education may need additional financial assistance beyond what the Ohio EdChoice Scholarship provides. The deadline to apply for Tuition Assistance is March 31, 2025. The Tuition Assistance Application can be found in your FACTS family portal. Please make sure you apply for EdChoice prior to applying for further assistance through CVCA.
Please contact Sarah Kuznicki at skuznicki@cvcaroyals.org, if you have any questions.
