Scholarships & Financial Aid

Step Up for Students Scholarship

Aletheia is a participating school in the Step Up for Students Scholarship. Step Up For Students is an initiative of the Florida Tax Credit (FTC) Scholarship Program. The innovative program provides K-12 education scholarships for qualifying low-income students. The scholarships give low-income parents the opportunity to choose the K-12 school that best meets their children’s needs. The scholarship to attend an eligible, participating private school will cover a portion of published tuition and fees to qualifying families.

Scholarships are awarded based on different criteria and depending upon which type of scholarship is obtained. These scholarships can be transferred to other eligible schools if the student moves within the state, or simply wants to attend a different Step Up partner school.  For more information about this scholarship, including award amounts, please visit their website at www.stepupforstudents.org.

AAA Scholarship Foundation

Another organization that administers the Florida Tax Credit Scholarships is the AAA Scholarship Foundation.  They are governed under the same statutes as Step Up for Students, but funded from a different pool of tax credit funds.  Therefore, they may be able to offer funding to a student who has been placed on a wait list with Step Up.  If you would like to apply for the scholarship through AAA Scholarship Foundation, please visit www.aaascholarships.org/parents/florida.

 

Aletheia Christian Academy’s Financial Aid 

“Giving Resources and Aid for Christian Education”

It is the desire of Aletheia Christian Academy to provide a Christ-centered education to children of Christian families, equipping them spiritually, academically, and physically for today and eternity. Families who desire their children to have a Christian education, but are facing financial hardships and cannot afford the full annual tuition may apply for financial aid. All financial aid comes from donations received for this purpose.

If you qualify for the Florida Step Up for Students Scholarship, you must apply for that scholarship before you will be considered for financial aid. (See information above regarding the Florida Tax Credit Scholarships.)  Financial aid is awarded only to those who have been accepted for admission, submitted a financial aid application package, and have been approved by the ACA Financial Aid Committee.

In order to preserve the confidentiality of your personal information, an outside scholarship company - FACTS - will conduct a financial need analysis and give the results to us. Apply online at https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/3T2K2. A $35.00 application fee will be required at the time of application. FACTS will require you to gather and submit the following documents to them:

  • Copies of your latest tax return for both parents
  • Copies of your latest W-2 forms for both parents
  • Copies of all tax schedules for Business or Farm Income, Rental Property, S-Corp., Partnership, and Estate/Trust Income, if applicable.
  • Copies of all Non-Taxable Income documents (Social Security Income, Welfare, Child Support, Food Stamps, Workers’ Compensation, and TANF).


Please submit all supporting documents to FACTS. Documents may be faxed to 1-866-315-9264 or mailed to: FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, P.O. Box 82524, Lincoln, NE 68501-2524. Send copies of your actual tax returns and schedules, not summary sheets that you may have received from your tax preparer. FACTS will not be able to recommend aid until they have received the proper documentation. If you have any questions or concerns about the FACTS application process, you may speak with a FACTS representative at 866-315-9262.

Financial aid will be awarded based on many criteria, including but not limited to financial need, academic and conduct performance of the student(s), and family support of the school. Current families receive funding priority. The award amount will not normally exceed 50% of tuition owed. 

Please be aware that submission of an application for financial aid does not guarantee that aid will be awarded. Receiving financial aid does not imply or guarantee that funds will be awarded in following years.
