Q: What is FACTS?

​

A: FACTS is an information gathering company PSAA contracts that evaluates, measures, and rates the level of tuition assistance a family qualifies for.   

​​

Q: Will I get awarded what FACTS determines my student is eligible for? 

 

A:  Not necessarily. Please note that FACTS does not award funds. It only gives a recommendation as to the level of eligibility. The PSAA Business Office and Committee makes the final determination of how much tuition assistance is awarded, based on current funds available, a family’s FACTS evaluation and need, other sources a family receives for tuition assistance and on a family’s ability and commitment to pay their portion of the tuition each month. 

 

Q: Should I fill out the FACTS application BEFORE making an appointment with the Business Manager?

 

A:  Yes. Please fill out the FACTS application and request Church assistance from your local Church before making an appointment with the Business Manager.  

 

Q: Are there any additional steps I should do in the application process?

 

A:  Yes. It is recommended that every family complete a “Request for Tuition Assistance” form provided by your local Church. Assistance provided by your local Church will factor in a student’s eligibility for assistance through the school.  

 

Q: Do families have monthly commitments? 

 

A: Yes. Non-payment of monthly financial commitments and overdue tuition accounts will FORFEIT ALL TAP tuition assistance for that month.

 

Q: When can families apply?  

 

A:  Feel free to begin your tuition assistance application for the next school year any time after February 1.  PSAA requires the most recent W-2 tax information as a part of the application process.  

 

Q: Is there a deadline to apply?

 

A: Yes. July is the ideal month to make an appointment with the Business Manager to finalize financial plans for the upcoming school year.  Appointments can be scheduled through the front office. Please note that summer hours are on a limited schedule, so please plan ahead.
