Tuition Assistance

Financial aid is available to both new and returning students enrolled in TK-12th grades to help with the cost of tuition. Financial aid is not available for our preschool or home education programs. The primary goal of the Financial Aid Program is to assist existing families that are experiencing a temporary reduction of income due to job loss or illness. Any remaining funds may be awarded to additional families that demonstrate a financial need. Aid is issued annually and a new application must be submitted each year no earlier than Feb 1 and no later than March 31. New families can apply for financial aid from Feb 1 until Aug 1. Financial aid does not cover registration and material fees, books, sports, or activity fees.

To apply for financial aid, families may fill out and submit the online application to FACTS through the DCS website.  FACTS is a third party vendor acquired by DCS to process financial aid applications and collect financial data from applicants. Award decisions are not made by FACTS, but by the DCS Financial Aid Committee. FACTS requires a $30 application fee and will request additional documentation which will need to be mailed or faxed.

The DCS Financial Aid Committee will start looking at completed financial aid applications beginning on April 1 each year and families will be notified by email by the end of April.  Families will then have 2 weeks to complete and return their Tuition Assistance Covenant.  Failure to complete the Tuition Assistance Covenant will result in cancelation of the awarded financial aid.
