Scholarships and Financial Aid

Sage school offers partial scholarships/financial aid for qualifying students. Applications are to be completed within the FACTS SIS Portal, in which you will be required to upload financial documentation that the Finance Committee will review to make a scholarship award decision. 

The following criteria must be satisfied in order to be considered for financial aid tuition assistance:

-Demonstrate the need for financial aid by completing a financial aid application and by supplying all required documentation – Sage utilizes the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment Service to facilitate the application and verification process. FACTS uses a mathematical formula to evaluate a family’s household income and expenses. This service calculates an estimated need which is then compared against the need from other families who are also requesting aid to arrive at an equitable distribution of available funds. Instructions for submitting an application for FACTS Grant & Aid is covered in further detail in the next section.

-FACTS account current – To be considered for financial aid, families with delinquent FACTS balances (those with overdue balances of 45 days or greater) will NOT be considered for financial aid until the account is paid in full.

Scholarships are reviewed and awarded three times per year. The three deadlines for submission are February 14th, July 1st and December 1st. Applications must be submitted by these deadlines to be included in that round of scholarships to be awarded.

Apogee Policies

Any funds received from Apogee or any other SSO will be applied to the FACTS balance due. If the Apogee payment exceeds the FACTS balance, a refund will be issued. If the family has already paid in full, a refund will be issued.

It is the parent/guardian responsibility to determine eligibility and apply for a Apogee Scholarship.

The State has defined parameters as to who is eligible to receive an SSO scholarship.

Children eligible to enroll in a GA qualified (public) school Pre-K, Kindergarten, or 1st Grade program Students who are currently enrolled at GA public school qualify.

From 2nd grade and beyond, Georgia policy requires that a student must have attended at least 45 days of public school immediately prior to enrolling in a private school in order to be considered eligible.

Home School students, KIPP School students, Charter School students are also eligible.

Once a student receives an Apogee scholarship, they remain eligible for the balance of their career through 12th grade.

Returned Payments and/or Overdue Balances

Sage relies on each partner family to pay student tuition in a timely manner. For returned payments, FACTS charges a $30 NSF fee in addition to charges you many receive from your bank. Sage charges a $25 fee per occurrence on late tuition payments and assesses a 2% per month late fee. Grades; Report cards will not be released until a family’s FACTS account is paid in full.

If neither the payment due nor satisfactory arrangements have been made within 60 school days after the due date, the student may be withdrawn from classes by the school. If this occurs, to re-enroll the full registration processes must be followed. Chronically past due accounts may be turned over to a collection agency and all collection fees will be the responsibility of the student’s parents or legal guardians.

Early Withdrawal

Initial acceptance and re-enrollment contracts with Sage School represents a binding agreement between a family and the school for the contract period, which is one school year. Because teacher contracts, school services, curriculum and supplies are funded and purchased at the beginning of each school year based on student enrollment, honoring the one-year contract period is necessary to ensure the school delivers the services agreed upon after students are enrolled. Prorated tuition for early withdrawal is the exception, and any family who desires to withdraw their student prior to the end of the school year is expected to honor the financial commitment for the one-year contact period. Exceptions are handled on a case by case basis and any requests for prorated tuition must be made in writing to the Head of School. In cases where prorated tuition is awarded, families will be charged a withdrawal fee of $300.
