Financial Aid Policy

Financial aid is available on a needs-only financial basis for those students have applied and been accepted to the school. CAC is a member of the Arkansas Activities Association and scholarships are not allowed under AAA rules. CAC uses Financial Aid Independent Review, based in Minnesota, to determine financial need. Parents must annually complete a financial aid application to be submitted to FAIR. Financial assistance cannot exceed "student need" as determined by FAIR.

Financial aid recommendations are reviewed by the Tuition Assistance Committee at CAC. Financial aid is available on a "first come - first served" basis. Priority is given to members of the churches of Christ and children of current families in the event that need-based financial aid recommendations exceed board allocated financial aid resources. Students are required to be making satisfactory academic progress and meet CAC's behavioral standards to receive financial assistance. Participation in extra-curricular activities is not required.

If you desire to seek financial aid for the 2013-2014 academic school year, please complete the FAIR application online at FairApp.com before the March 31 deadline. The CAC school ID is 137 and the password is cacs137. There is an application fee of $25. FAIR compiles the information from all applicants and returns the results to CAC. Decisions regarding financial aid will be available near the first week of May.
