Financial Aid

Cornerstone Christian Academy provides an excellent private Christian education and we operate solely on tuition, fees, and the contributions of our families and supporters. Each year we set our tuition based on the operational needs of the school, seeking to maintain a quality educational experience for each student.

To help with the costs of attending Cornerstone Christian Academy, we set aside a specified amount of financial aid each year to help families expressing need. If you are considering enrolling your child at Cornerstone and desire financial assistance, we ask that you complete both an application for admission and a separate financial aid application. Families seeking assistance are required to complete their financial aid application by the first Monday of March to be considered for the following school year. After a thorough and prayerful analysis, awards will be determined and communicated to the family.

To assist us with this process, we have partnered with Financial Aid and School Tuition (FAST). FAST is an educational partner to many quality schools across the nation and provides a completely confidential financial aid assessment for families. There is a non-refundable fee for the financial aid assessment of $60 which is payable directly to FAST as you begin the evaluation process.

You will need to have the following documents prepared:

2024 W-2 Form
Final 2024 Federal Income Tax Return (Form 1040 including all schedules)
2023 W-2 Form
Final 2023 Federal Income Tax Return (Form 1040 including all schedules)
Federal Income Tax Return Release Form (Form 4506-T, Signed, Undated)

Applications for Financial Aid will open on December 1, 2024.

FAST has provided a User Guide and help bubbles for each question within the application itself, for support, but if necessary please utilize the 24 hour use call center for any additional questions 1-877-326-FAST (3278).

Back to Admissions Welcome

"Cornerstone checks all the boxes for our family. The staff provides a safe and nurturing environment for our child to learn and grow into her gifts, with a strong emphasis on leadership, independence and good moral character. Academically they provide the rigor and tools that challenge and build confidence. This has helped to foster our daughter’s innate curiosity and critical thinking and a love of learning. Cornerstone is more than a school, it is a community, and it has given our family so much more than we ever anticipated."
