Financial Assistance Policy

At Cornerstone Christian Academy for Learning and Leadership, we want to help those in financial need still make a Christian education a reality for their child(ren). Applications for assistance should be made only after earnest prayer and careful consideration of all aspects of your family’s financial circumstances. The use of financial assistance funds in cases where the need is not acute may deprive others of educational opportunities. CCALL’s assessment of financial need takes into consideration all sources of income, priority in spending, debt and expenses. We must be good stewards of the gift given to us from generous donations for financial assistance.

Application Review Process

After applications are reviewed by the Financial Assistance Committee, awards are distributed based on qualifying need and funds available. The amount of financial assistance awarded to any individual family is solely the discretion of CCALL. Families who received assistance in the prior year and continue to need assistance must reapply. The award for each year is determined independently of awards from prior years and may change or discontinue due to a family’s financial circumstance or funding available for financial assistance. Financial assistance awards are determined annually but applied to accounts monthly and are subject to withdrawal in the case of families/students who fall out of compliance with any of the eligibility requirements used in determining the annual award. In order to be as helpful as possible to the greatest number of families as well as maintain the CCALL commitment to partner with families in every aspect of a child’s education (including financial responsibility), full tuition assistance will not be awarded.
