The Chicago Academy for the Arts encourages all families to explore their options to finance an independent school education. We are committed to making a CAA education accessible to families from all backgrounds, regardless of financial means and work closely with each family to assist you in this process.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Any student may apply for financial aid, and any award granted by the CAA may be combined with scholarships or aid received from an outside source. We offer financial aid, based on three criteria:

• The financial need of the family
• The artistic and academic ability of the student
• The enrollment needs of the academy

How To Apply For Financial Aid: Families are eligible to apply for financial aid once they have submitted an application of admission to the CAA.

You will then complete the FACTS Grant Aid and Assessment form online at: www.factstuitionaid.com. Please allow 3-4 weeks processing time. Download the FACTS flyer to learn more.

Families must complete the FACTS process by January 12, 2010 to be included in the financial aid review.
