Financial Aid

Veritas is committed to providing a quality Christian education to all families who desire it. We recognize that full tuition may be out of reach for some families. To assist those families who are committed to Classical Christian education but are financially unable to pay full tuition, Veritas has contracted with an independent, third party agency to help us determine how much financial aid to offer those families who have a proven need. Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) is an independent organization that provides third-party, objective, and completely confidential assessment of a family's financial need. FAST works with over 500 independent schools around the United States and Canada, including a high number of ACCS schools. All financial information given to FAST is completely confidential, and no person on the Board or staff of Veritas Academy has access to it. Financial aid will be awarded to families based on FAST recommendations and available funds.

How Do I Apply?

Veritas Academy requires that families enroll their student(s) for the upcoming school year before applying for financial aid through FAST. In the unlikely event that no financial agreement can be met after applying, Veritas will refund the enrollment fee in full. If a family desires financial assistance with tuition, they may apply online. There is a minor application fee charged by FAST for families who apply.

Veritas encourages all families to seek out various means of financial assistance. Sometimes a relative will be willing to help out with tuition. Often the Lord will show us ways to cut costs so we can afford to pay full tuition. Veritas depends on tuition to cover the majority of operating expenses for the school. However, if your family is committed to a quality Christian education for your children, but is hesitant to enroll because of finances, Veritas urges you to enroll and apply for financial aid. As a rule of thumb, if total tuition costs are 10% or more of your income, you will likely qualify for aid. For more information about the process, please contact the school administrator or visit FAST's website. Veritas Academy's school ID number is 3286.
