Community Christian School utilizes both external and internal funds when awarding financial assistance.
The application process varies by financial aid program. Families applying for the Georgia Promise Scholarship must apply through the state’s Georgia Promise Scholarship portal. Families applying for the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program or Community Christian School-funded financial aid must complete an application through FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment.
CCS utilizes FACTS to provide a needs-based financial aid analysis that helps our school evaluate each family’s financial circumstances when making financial aid decisions.
Each type of financial aid has its own eligibility requirements and is dependent on the availability of funds. Receiving one type of financial aid does not guarantee eligibility for another.

Financial aid may come from multiple sources, including the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, Georgia Promise Scholarship, and Community Christian School-funded scholarships. Eligibility for each source of aid is determined separately based on the requirements for that program and the availability of funds, and awards cannot be guaranteed.
Eligibility for the Georgia Promise Scholarship is determined by the state of Georgia, not the school.
Scholarship awards are coordinated and applied by the school, and families will be notified of their total award amount. Funds are applied directly to tuition once received.
