Cornerstone Christian Academy can be within your reach.
An independent school selection is an important decision for your family, as well as a significant investment in your child. The Cornerstone Christian Academy educational experience is a value beyond a typical private school education as our culture and community truly foster the holistic development of each student. At Cornerstone, all students should have the opportunity to pursue their passions. We are proud to reflect the diverse and multicultural community thriving in Fort Bend County. We are committed to providing support to families, making Cornerstone Christian Academy's education more affordable and accessible.
NOTE: Award decisions are not made by FACTS, but by Cornerstone Christian Academy. No information regarding awards will be released to parent applicants by FACTS.
If you have any questions, please contact Sharon Donia in the Business Office.
Cornerstone uses FACTS Grant and Aid (a Nelnet company) to process financial aid applications. A $45 application fee is paid to FACTS upon application submission.
Financial aid applications are only considered for families who have applied and been accepted into Cornerstone Christian Academy.
Aid is not available for preschool students.
The maximum tuition assistance is 50% of annual tuition.
Cornerstone cannot consider your application until FACTS verifies your supporting financial information. You are responsible for ensuring FACTS receives and verifies all of your information. You can check on the status of your application on the FACTS Grant and Aid site or by calling FACTS Grant and Aid customer service at 866-441-4637.
FACTS Grant and Aid usually takes two weeks from the time you submit all required documentation to verify your application. Please consider this with the due dates listed below.
In the case of divorced or separated parents/guardians, Cornerstone considers the assets of both parents/guardians before making award decisions. Therefore, both parents/guardians must submit all financial aid forms, regardless of custodial arrangements or educational expense agreements. There is complete confidentiality regarding individual family financial reporting.
You can submit the application and your 2023 tax return if you have not completed your 2024 tax return yet. However, you will be required to submit your 2024 tax return after April 1, 2025, or any award you may have been notified of may be revoked.
The first round of awards usually takes up much of our budgeted financial aid funds. It is to your advantage to get your application submitted as early as possible. Once funds are exhausted, we will no longer accept aid applications.
