Please remember to use your most recent tax return information (calendar year 2022) when completing the aid application.

The following criteria must be satisfied in order to be considered for financial aid tuition assistance:

• Demonstrate the need for financial aid by completing a financial aid application and by supplying all required documentation – CCS utilizes the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment Service to facilitate the application and verification process. FACTS uses a mathematical formula to evaluate a family’s household income and expenses. This service calculates an estimated need which is then compared against the need from other families who are also requesting aid to arrive at an equitable distribution of available funds. Instructions for submitting an application for FACTS Grant & Aid is covered in further detail in the next section.
• FACTS account current – To be considered for financial aid, families with delinquent FACTS balances (those with overdue balances of 45 days or greater) will NOT be considered for financial aid until the account is paid in full.
