Tuition Assistance

Kindergarten and Up

At Cloverhill Christian Academy, we understand the financial investment a family makes when choosing a private education. We want our Christ-centered mission of partnering with parents to reflect in every area of our school, which is why we offer need-based financial assistance.

Cloverhill Christian Academy utilizes the services of an independent company, Blackbaud Financial Aid Management (BFAM), to process and verify applications and determine award amounts. All applications and awards are treated with sensitivity and confidentiality.

Families who qualify will be awarded through capped allocations in the school's budget. And families must reapply for assistance annually.

Tuition Assistance Policies

Tuition assistance is awarded based on financial need and the availability of funds. The completion of the financial assistance application is not a binding agreement that assistance is available or will be granted. 

Award Amounts 

Awards range from 5%-75% of the total tuition obligation for the coming school year. 

Thresholds 

Based on available resources, family size, and location in the US, the system has maximum allowable amounts for each expense category. This impacts the amount that BFAM will consider in the areas of housing, car payments, insurances, childcare, medical expenses, and utilities.  

Tax Verification 

Each applicant must be verified by submitting current paystubs, W-2’s and tax forms to BFAM. Self-employed applicants will be required to submit additional tax information. Applications for assistance will not be reviewed or considered until all required documents are verified.   

Separated/Divorced Parents 

Cloverhill Christian Academy views both parents as supporters of and contributors to their child’s education regardless of divorce agreements and arrangements. As such, both parents will be expected to complete separate applications, report income and provide tax verification to BFAM as part of the tuition assistance application. 

CCA respectively asks you to contact BFAM support for all questions or concerns related to your application and supporting documents. BFAM support is available by Chat once you create an account. Or via email financialaidsupport@blackbaud.school or phone 1-800-360-8027.
