Financial Aid applications may be submitted after February 1st.
​All Submissions must be made by March 31st to be considered for an award.

Albany Christian School provides a financial aid program to help make a Christian education more accessible for families, offering support that reduces—but does not replace—tuition costs. To determine eligibility, all applications are first reviewed through the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment service, which conducts an objective analysis of financial need. The ACS scholarship team then performs a second review to consider each family’s individual circumstances. Because financial aid is funded annually through the generous contributions of donors and friends of ACS, available funds are limited and awards are allocated using a standardized scale.

​Qualified families may receive up to a 20% tuition discount, helping clarify that financial aid is intended as supplemental support rather than full tuition coverage.

Service Participation Requirement:

The financial aid that ACS offers to families is one way ACS attempts to partner with parents to deepen our commitment to one another.  As ACS demonstrates a partnership-commitment to families by the awarding of financial aid funds, ACS in turn, asks financial aid recipients to demonstrate their partnership-commitment to the school by contributing 15 hours of service  to the school per year.  

Financial aid service hours are tracked in your FACTS Family Portal.  In order to be considered eligible to apply for Financial Aid for any following year of enrollment, families must have 15 hours of service logged in to their FACTS Family Portal.

Please check the Resource Documents on your FACTS Family Portal for service opportunities and ideas. If you have questions or need assistance with logging hours, please email the office at [email protected].
