The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) is pleased to announce a partnership with FACTS, an industry leader in financial verification and scholarship awarding services.

 

Through this partnership, FACTS will support the ACSI Children’s Tuition Fund and the ACSI Education Foundation, which oversees the ACSI Children’s Tuition Fund, by providing expanded capabilities for scholarship application processing, financial verification, and fund distribution on a significantly larger scale.

 

ACSI Education Foundation president, Temple Weiss, emphasized the partnership's focus on simplifying the scholarship process for both schools and families.

 

"A defining strength of our approach is making complex processes simple for both schools and families. Through our partnership with FACTS, we are streamlining scholarship and financial aid by integrating trusted systems that schools already rely on with our fully compliant, school-first platform. For families, it creates a seamless experience and removes barriers to applying for scholarships.”

 

The partnership will help streamline administrative processes while increasing capacity for scholarship management and fund distribution. 

 

Matt Richardson, FACTS Director of Scholarship Programs, highlighted the power of combining trusted expertise and proven systems to support families and schools nationwide.

 

"ACSI and the Children's Tuition Fund have built a strong track record serving students, families, donors, and schools, and we are honored to partner with them as the federal scholarship landscape expands,” Richardson said. “FACTS brings the infrastructure, scale, and operational experience that scholarship programs need to grow with confidence. Together, we can help more families access the education they want for their children—with a process that feels straightforward at every step."
