Tuition Assistance at Asheville Christian Academy

No two families are the same, so we tailor our tuition assistance to your specific needs.

1

Start by applying for your child to attend ACA.

Then, submit a tuition assistance application through FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, which is a third-party company, to help determine financial aid eligibility and award amounts.

Apply online at factsmgt.com. If you need assistance, you can reach FACTS Customer Care at (866) 441-4637.

Payment Plans:

Interest-free payment plans that are automatically drafted monthly, each semester, or annually.

The Opportunity Scholarship helps families pay tuition and fees for North Carolina schools like ACA. Families must first try for an Opportunity Scholarship and then apply for variable tuition.

 
 

Variable Tuition:

A need-based program that pulls information from FACTS and adjusts the amount of tuition families pay to better fit their budgets.

Yes, but each family can only receive as much as they qualify for through FACTS.
