Tuition Assistance

Pine Castle Christian Academy Financial Aid Program

* Financial Aid is available to applicants who have been offered enrollment at PCCA and have demonstrated the financial need through our third party organization.  The FAST system is open for the 2013-2014 school year. Families may complete both the application for admission to PCCA and application for financial aid at the same time.  The financial aid committee will only review and make awards for students who have been offered admission to PCCA.

* A portion of our school operating budget is allocated for financial aid, and we encourage families to apply if finances are a barrier to your child enrolling. Aid recipients exhibit a need based on income, budget, and family size. In general, an award will cover no more than 50% of tuition.

* Individual awards made for tuition assistance varies for each family, and are made based on a family’s financial situation. Other factors may apply such as space in the class, siblings attending, etc.  New students must qualify for admission first to be considered for aid and returning students must maintain a 2.0 or higher GPA and be in good standing behaviorally.

* A third party company called FAST confidentially analyzes the data and makes a recommendation to the school. Click the link below to get started!
