Affording Fellowship

It would be wonderful if we could provide financial aid for everyone who desires it; however, our resources are limited. Therefore, in accordance with school policies, application for financial aid must be submitted each year. Before making application we encourage all of our families to reconsider their financial commitments and seek alternative sources of tuition funding.

• Fellowship Christian School does not award merit, talent, athletic or academic scholarships.
• Aid to an enrolled returning student is given priority over a new student.
• Returning students must have completed the re-enrollment process and account current.
• New students eligible for the Georgia GOAL Scholarship must have completed the admissions process and received acceptance to the school.
• Aid is based upon available funding and demonstrated financial need on a case-by-case basis.
• Demonstrated financial need is determined using a national, standardized formula that employs an impartial, third-party analysis of a family’s financial situation. 
• The financial assessment includes a family’s cash flow, assets, number of dependents, provisions for retirement, and core expenses in determining the ability to pay for educational expenses.
• The amount of institutional aid may not exceed 50% for grades 1-8 and 60% for grades 9-12. Generally, the amount awarded is less than those percentages. 
• Financial aid may vary from year to year based on demonstrated financial need, funding, and number of applications received. Therefore, applicants must apply each year.
• Financial aid will be considered for tuition only. Extracurricular fees and supplemental activities are not eligible for aid.
• Awards are issued on a per student basis and are not transferable.
• If there are special conditions that should be considered, you may send a confidential letter to the Financial Aid Committee in care of Karen Welty, Director of Finance.

If you have any questions, please contact the business office at (770) 641-6818.

• Fellowship has commissioned the assistance of FACTS, a nationally recognized firm, to receive and process financial aid applications.
• You may apply on-line on our FACTS site. There is a $45 fee for FACTS to process your application.
• Assistance is available directly from FACTS through their website or by phone (866) 315-9262.
• Applications must have the status of “verified” with FACTS by February 13, 2026 to be considered in the first round of reviews by the financial aid committee. All supporting documents should be submitted to FACTS in advance of the deadline to allow time for FACTS to process.
• Late submissions may be considered after awards are granted to those who meet the deadline unless funds are exhausted.
• Applications will not be accepted after the first day of school.
• Applicants are required to submit their most recent tax return. If an extension is filed, additional documentation is required.
• Notifications will be emailed to verified applicants monthly beginning in March until the first day of school unless all funds have been distributed. 
• In the event the award, if any, is insufficient to enable the student to attend, the tuition deposit and registration fee will be refunded.
• Financial aid decisions must be finalized prior to attending the first day of school.
