FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition)

Generous support through the George W. Jenkins fund within the Community Foundation of Greater Lakeland, has enabled Geneva to offer tuition discounts on a financial need basis. Geneva Classical Academy utilizes the online service of Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST), a third party assessment organization, to process scholarship applications.

FAST does not decide whether financial assistance will be given or how much to give; rather FAST provides a need-based financial aid analysis service which includes a recommendation of what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition. All information from FAST is kept confidential. Results are reviewed by Geneva’s Financial Aid Committee who makes recommendations to the Headmaster based on next year’s budget and availability of Geneva’s scholarship money. Upon approval by the Headmaster, financial aid offers are then sent to families.

To apply for a scholarship through FAST:

A complete Enrollment Application must be submitted to the school prior to applying for financial assistance.  You may contact info@gcalakeland.org if you have questions.
