MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS & FLEXIBLE TUITION PLAN
Inclusion and affordability are essential elements of Cascades Academy's educational program and atmosphere. To that end, we offer a Flexible Tuition Program which allows families to pay what they can afford for tuition. We also offer ten partial and full Merit Scholarships for middle and high school students.

To be eligible for consideration for our Flexible Tuition program, you must complete an online application. We use an independent organization, School and Student Services (SSS), to process applications. SSS is a service of the National Association of Independent Schools. Based on the financial information you provide, SSS gives us an estimated amount your family can contribute to educational expenses. This helps us make fair and objective award decisions. To begin your tuition adjustment application for the 2010-11 school year, follow these steps below.
1. Go to sss.nais.org.
2.Click on the prompt to begin your Parents%u2019 Financial Statement (PFS). You only have to complete one PFS even if you have several children applying to our school.
3.You will be given a password that will allow you to return to your PFS at a later date before submitting it.
4.You will be given instructions about submitting required backup documents by mail. Cascades Academy requires you to submit your completed 2008 1040 with all required schedules and attachments and your 2009 W2. Your documents will be handled with the utmost level of security. To read more about SSS document security, go to sss.nais.org.
5.There will be a place on the online application to indicate any additional information you would like the school to know in considering your application. Please feel free to use this space.
