Tuition Assistance
We utilize the online service of ism’s Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) to process applications. FAST will be the standard submission format for all 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 the Finance Committee and upon approval the financial aid offers are then sent to families.
As a reminder, you must reapply each year. To start the process, please click on the FAST AID logo below and follow the on-screen instructions:
Important Notes
- The application process is self-guided. You may navigate in and out of the program allowing you to partially complete an application and go back to it at another time. FAST has a 24/7/365 helpline available to you should you have any questions, which can be reached by calling 1-877-326-FAST (3278). Please do not call the school with questions.

This fee will be covered by PCS for applicants who are successful in receiving funding from FAST and for first time registrants to Providence Christian School. Free vouchers are available.

While no financial aid procedure can be entirely equitable – there are simply too many individual factors and extenuating circumstances – this new process that has been selected should serve our School community well. Among its many features will be the ability to further secure your financial data, and maintain the high degree of confidentiality that past recipients most appreciated.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact finance@providencecs.ca.
