Financial Aid

Veritas Christian Academy offers tuition assistance based on financial need to current and incoming families. The Veritas Financial Aid Program has a two-fold purpose: to provide deserving students with an opportunity for an education they might otherwise not be able to have and to provide Veritas with a well-qualified student body reflecting social and economic diversity. Veritas demonstrates its commitment to need-based financial aid by providing a portion of the school’s budget to fund the financial needs of its students. Veritas is committed to providing financial aid to as many students as possible; however, families bear the primary responsibility for financing education to the extent that they are able. To be eligible for financial aid at Veritas, a family must demonstrate financial need. FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition) will conduct the financial need analysis. Families applying for financial aid must complete an application online using the FAST link and upload supporting documentation to FAST
