Financial Aid

Instructions

For the 2023-2024 school year, Omni Montessori School will be utilizing the online service of Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) to process applications. FAST will be the standard submission format for all financial aid applications

The application process is self-guided. You may navigate in and out of the program, allowing you to partially complete an application and return to it at a later time. We suggest reading the instructions before beginning your application. FAST provides assistance in application completion through online help and a 24/7 help desk.

Required Fees and Documents

The application fee is $48.00 and is to be paid by credit card to FAST at the end of the application submittal process. If you do not have a credit card or cannot budget the fee, please contact the Director of Finance at Omni Montessori School, Cindy Curry,  704-541-1326 ext. 224 for assistance.

You may submit your taxes via mail or electronically via scanning. Instructions for submitting tax documents are detailed in the online application instructions and in an email that you will receive from FAST upon application submission.
