Tuition Grants are available to those PCA families with a demonstrated need for financial aid. PCA utilizes the services of FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment to evaluate each application for a tuition grant.
Who can be considered for a Tuition Grant?
Returning students must be registered for the 2012-2013 school year in order to be considered for a grant. New students must complete the PCA Admissions application, must be accepted to PCA, and in most cases must be registered at PCA for the 2012-2013 school year in order to be considered for a grant. (See exception, below.)
How do I apply for a Tuition Grant?
You may begin the application process online at https://www.factstuitionaid.com/facts/gaapp. The processing fee is $25 and can be paid with a credit card online when your application is submitted. Complete the application by promptly submitting all tax documentation to FACTS when requested.
When will my Tuition Grant application be processed?
Once your application has been verified by FACTS and your student(s) are registered at PCA for the 2012-2013 school year (see exception, below), your application will be placed in the next open batch for processing.

Please remember, funds are limited, and applications in Batches 2 or later will be considered only if there are Tuition Grant funds remaining after families meeting previous batch deadlines are served.
How will I receive my grant notification?
Grants notifications will be made in writing and sent through the US Postal Service to you in the week indicated above. The grant must be accepted by you in writing as specified in the notification letter. If we do not receive written acceptance within that time, the grant will be forfeited.
In the event that your request for a Tuition Grant is denied, or the Grant is insufficient to allow you to send your students to PCA and you have already paid the 2012-2013 re-registration fee, please see page 2 of the Re-Enrollment/Family Commitment Agreement regarding steps to take to request a refund of the re-registration fee.
If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Brumley (770.279.3937) in the Business Office.
Exception: If a new student is eligible to be considered for a Georgia GOAL Scholarship under HB 1133 (entering Kindergarten, First Grade, or transferring in from a Georgia public school), the student must be accepted to PCA for the application to be placed in a batch for processing; however, the student should not register at PCA until after the award has been determined.
