One-Step Financial Assistance:
Families applying for financial assistance must complete an online application form and submit necessary supporting documentation to FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. FACTS is a confidential, online, assessment tool that assists LCA in determining the financial need for current and new families. Financial assistance is provided from budgeted school funds and is based on availability. The financial assistance process requires completion of your current year federal taxes. If you have a unique situation and wish to apply for financial assistance prior to the completion of your current year taxes, please contact the business office at the school. Please note, preschool classes do not qualify for financial assistance.

Families applying for financial assistance must complete the online application, pay the financial assistance application fee assessed by FACTS, and submit/upload all necessary documentation to FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment via https://online.factsmgt.com/aid. Financial assistance applications need to be fully submitted to FACTS by April 15th and aid will be awarded as verified, but no later than mid-June. Due to budgeting and planning needs, awards will be decreased by a minimum of $250/child for any applications submitted to FACTS, from current or new families, after April 15th. Late submissions will also result in delayed award notification and carry the potential for reduced award amounts. For re-enrollment after April 15th, the financial aid application must be completed no later than two weeks from the enrollment date to qualify for financial aid. A maximum of 50% of total tuition can be awarded. 

All financial aid comes directly from LCA’s operating budget.
