New this year – we will be using FACTS tuition management to collect all of our financial aid applications and documents. Paper applications will no longer be available. Please use this link and your current FACTS log in and password that is used for tuition. There is a $45/year application fee and the process will take you about 15-25 minutes to complete. Your application is not complete until all required financial documents are uploaded as requested. Applications will be accepted from February 10 through May 2nd.
Grades K-12 Opportunity Scholarship Nebraska (OSN)
OSN also uses FACTS Tuition management to collect their financial aid applications . Please use this link and your same log in and password to avoid paying a second $45 fee. Welcome to Grant & Aid To be eligible for CCS & OSN you will need to submit two applications but if they are both completed under the same log in there will only be one $45 fee. Your application is not complete until all required financial documents are uploaded as requested. These applications are open February 10 through April 10th
Grades K-8 Children’s Scholarship Fund
For any returning CSF recipient, it is important that you use your same account to apply. If you create a new account then you will be considered a “new applicant” and the income qualifications for new applicants are harder to meet than for those who are requalifying.
