Tuition Assistance

Families interested in applying for JCCHS Tuition Assistance (Financial Aid) must submit a new application each year (JC Tuition Assistance does not renew automatically). To be considered, please ensure you complete the application annually.

Important Requirement

If your family plans to apply for JC Tuition Assistance, you are required to also apply for the Alabama CHOOSE Act scholarship. There is one exception - families not currently living in the State of Alabama do not have to complete The CHOOSE Act application.

You do not have to be awarded CHOOSE Act funding, but you must submit a CHOOSE Act application to be considered for JC Tuition Assistance.

Easy Application Through FACTS

The CHOOSE Act application process is quick and easy to complete through FACTS; the same system our families already use for tuition and financial aid.

When applying, you will simply:

Log in to your FACTS account
Select the CHOOSE Act application
Complete the required information and upload any requested documents

The CHOOSE Act provides eligible families with Education Savings Accounts that can be used toward private school tuition, helping support families pursuing private education.

Important Deadline

Both applications must be completed by: March 31,2026

CHOOSE Act Application
JC Tuition Assistance Application

Completing both applications ensures your family is considered for all available tuition assistance opportunities. If you have any questions or need help navigating the process, please feel free to reach out to our Business Manager, Mrs. Kellyn Vines, who can assist you.
