The Columbus Tuition Grant program is assistance based on financial need. We invite you to apply for the Columbus Tuition Grant Program if you have financial need. To apply for the Columbus Tuition Grant Program, a family must annually complete and submit the FACTS Grant and Aid application by May 31st.
Once the application process has been completed, CCS will follow up with all applicants by June 15th. This time span gives CCS time to review results from the automated FACTS program and respond to all families that applied. Families we partner with by awarding them tuition grants are asked in return to do their best by supporting CCS and our core values. These families also have other opportunities to help CCS by volunteering in our Gift Card Program, fundraising events, or event concessions.
