FAQ’s

What is tuition assistance?

Tuition assistance is provided to those families who believe strongly in a Catholic education, but for whom the financial obligation is beyond their means. Charlottesville Catholic School’s tuition assistance does not require repayment by the family.

Who can apply?

The family bears the primary responsibility for financing a child’s education to the extent of their financial means; however, we invite and encourage any family who finds difficulty in meeting the financial obligations of their child’s education to apply. Part of the mission of the school is to provide an education for all children regardless of the ability to pay. With regard to this assistance, limited school resources are available and we ask that families exhaust all personal financial support prior to applying.

Where do I get an application for tuition assistance?

Applications for tuition assistance must be submitted online at https://online.factsmgt.com/aid or within the online application process. All questions related to the application must be directed to FACTS.

Who will see my personal financial statement?

Only the FACTS personnel, the Principal, the Vice Principal, and the Business Manager will see the information. All personal financial information is kept confidential.

How is tuition assistance determined?

Charlottesville Catholic School subscribes to the FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment Service (FACTS). FACTS estimates a family’s need based on income, assets, expenses, and liabilities. The administrative team will use this estimation as a guideline to award tuition assistance.

How much funding is available?

Each year the available resources for tuition assistance are based on the projected budget. The school makes it a priority to try to find additional resources to help with tuition assistance.

Is there a deadline to be considered for tuition assistance?

The online FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment is due by March 1st. However, those applications received after this deadline will be considered although the amount of financial aid may be limited.

Is my deposit refundable if I do not receive tuition assistance?

If we are unable to meet your financial need as suggested by FACTS, we will refund your deposit.

Once I am granted tuition assistance, do I need to apply every year?

Yes, a new application is required for each school year.

Are there payment options?

Families may choose to spread out their tuition payments with our FACTS Tuition Management program. For a 4% fee, this program allows families to make 10 monthly payments from July through April of each year.

Are there any restrictions on tuition assistance students?

No, all students are treated equally regardless of financial support. There are no restrictions on field trips, sports, or academic programs.

What aid is available for families with multiple children?

A Multi-Child Discount is available to families who wish to enroll more than one child:

• For Second Child: 10% off
• For Third Child: 25% off
• For Fourth Child and subsequent children: 50% off

If families do not wish to receive this form of tuition assistance, please consider a tax deductible donation in the amount of the aid received.
