Community Christian School utilizes both external (Georgia Goal Scholarship) and internal funds in awarding financial assistance. The application process is the same and only one award will be granted. Families seeking financial aid must file an application through the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. We utilize the FACTS program because it is designed to be very responsive to our families. FACTS provides CCS a needs-based financial aid analysis service which ensures that our process for establishing financial need adheres to nationally established standards of best practice.

Is financial aid renewable each year? Yes, but a new financial aid application must be submitted each year to maintain eligibility.
How much should I expect to receive? Awards are based on household income, size, the number of students requesting assistance, and the availability of funds. Applicants can receive awards up to 40% of the total tuition amount. Applicants should submit their forms early for the best chance to receive an award.
