We have a limited amount of tuition assistance funds to assist families with demonstrated financial need.
Determination of need is assessed by an outside firm, Independent School Management’s Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST). To apply for tuition assistance, complete the FAST online application. FAST determines what, if any, student need is established and returns a confidential report to CHCA. Our Tuition Assistance Committee uses the report to guide them in offering tuition assistance. Once an award is made, families can typically count on a similar award in future years, provided there is no change in financial circumstances.

FAST Online Application
CHCA offers tuition assistance to qualifying new students in grades K-12 who have been offered admission. If your student has not been offered admission to CHCA or the only student(s) you are seeking tuition assistance for will be in CHCA’s Early Learning Program (ages 2-4), please do not submit an application to FAST. Contact the Admissions Office with questions.
Tuition assistance funds are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Because the FAST application requires your most recent tax return, your FAST application should be submitted as soon as your prior year tax returns are complete, but no later than April 1 of the upcoming school year. FAST applications (for new or returning families) after that date will be considered as long as funds are available. Please contact Admissions@chca-oh.org for more information.
Families are notified of their tuition assistance award decision within two weeks of a complete FAST application (including tax return).
New or returning students in grades K-12 who show a demonstrated financial need as determined by FAST are eligible to receive a tuition assistance award. Tuition assistance is not currently available for our Early Learning students.
Yes, although the family must apply each year to receive a continuing award. Assuming no significant changes in financial circumstances, a family can expect that the amount of tuition assistance will remain consistent for the time the student is enrolled at CHCA.
Because the FAST calculation of a family’s financial need is a very individualized assessment based on a variety of factors (income, number of children applying to CHCA, assets, business gains/losses, etc.), we encourage all families for whom affordability is a concern to complete the FAST application. This is really the only reliable way to determine financial need.
The confidentiality of your financial information is maintained at all times, and only select Administrative Office staff members responsible for tuition assistance awards have access to the FAST reports.
Thanks to a $30 million scholarship fund, CHCA is pleased to offer generous tuition assistance awards (Lindner Scholarships) to assist families with demonstrated financial need afford a CHCA education.
Determination of need is assessed by an outside firm (FACTS). Visit FACTS to apply for tuition assistance and complete the FACTS online application. FACTS determines student need and returns a confidential report to CHCA. Our Tuition Assistance Committee uses the report to guide them in offering tuition assistance.
Once an award is made, families can typically count on a similar award in future years, provided there is no change in financial circumstances. The Lindner Scholarship award covers 100% of demonstrated need, less the minimum tuition amount (currently $1,300).
Tuition assistance funds are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Because the FACTS application requires your most recent tax return, your FACTS application should be submitted as soon as your tax returns are complete, but no later than April 1st. FACTS applications (for new or returning families) after that date will be considered as long as funds are available. For new families needing a tuition assistance response prior to tax information being available, provisional awards based upon the prior year's tax information may be available. Please contact Admissions for more information.
