Information about Financial Aid for New and Returning Students

It is that time of year again. Here is some information you will need to know for the next couple months in regards to your financial aid.
 
Incoming students:
  1. Financial Aid letters were put in the mail on February 15. If you don’t receive your letter this week, I could be waiting on something.
  2. You will receive an email in mid-March to set up your appointment to come in to complete your paperwork for the Choice Scholarship if you believe you are eligible. The appointments will begin in April.
  3. If you are planning on applying for the Tuition Scholarship (need-based scholarship) and haven’t completed the application on our website, please complete it as soon as possible.
  4. If you have a current 8th grader and you have not already applied for admissions for next year, please do so before Freshman Scheduling Nights on March 1, 2 and 3.
 
Returning students:
  1. The State has given us actual dollar amounts for the Choice Scholarship for 2020-2021. I am in the process of updating everyone’s accounts. If you receive an email about a payment being made, and you’re paid in full, know that this is from the additional Choice Scholarship amount.
  2. Financial Aid letters for students that don’t receive the Choice Scholarship will start going out mid-March. They will be going out by grade levels.
  3. If you receive the Choice Scholarship, you will receive your financial aid letter at your appointment.
  4. You will receive an email in mid-March to set up your appointment to come in to complete your paperwork for the Choice Scholarship if you believe you are eligible. The appointments will begin in April.
  5. If you have not applied for the Tuition Scholarship in the past and would like to be reviewed for the scholarship this year, you can complete the application on our website. Please complete it as soon as possible.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
In Christ,
