Additional Information:
Barring unusual circumstances, such as late application to the school, families applying for financial assistance must meet the December 31st deadline. In general, awards are made on a first come, first served basis. No application will be considered until all requested items have been received. Families who miss the specified deadlines jeopardize their chance of receiving aid and may be placed on a waiting list.

Financial aid decisions are made independently of Admission decisions. Letters concerning financial aid awards are mailed from the Business Office shortly after acceptance letters.

All financial documentation is kept confidential and shredded when no longer needed.

If you have questions or concerns about the application process, you may speak with a FACTS Customer Care Representative at 1.866.315.9262, e-mail FACTS at "factstuitionaid.com" or call Sr. Pat Geuting at 301.657.4322 Ext. 330.
