Affording Quest Academy
Quest Academy provides tuition assistance to families with children in preschool through eighth grade who demonstrate financial need through the financial aid application process.
Presently, about 30% of our students receive assistance of varying amounts. While the budget for tuition assistance is generous and the School is able to meet the needs of many new families, it is not always possible to offer tuition assistance to all who apply. Students receiving tuition assistance must be in good academic standing and display good citizenship.
Options exist to make tuition more affordable. See below for details, or contact the Business Office at 847-202-8035 to discuss.
- We offer several tuition payment schedules: in full, in three installments or in ten installments.
- Financial Aid is available for qualifying families. Awards are based on demonstrated financial need, as determined by FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment, as administered by the Quest Academy Financial Aid Committee. See the link below for more information about applying for Financial Aid.
- 529 Plans – 2018 Tax law changes expanded the use of 529 Plans; those funds can now be used for K-12 education (in addition to college) costs. Limitations do apply, so consult your tax advisor for advice.
Quest Academy considers each family individually using the guidelines set forth by administration and the data as reported by the family. The maximum award that Quest Academy is prepared to offer to those families who qualify for the highest need is 50% off the full tuition amount. Families must be prepared to contribute the remaining balance after the award is accepted.

APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID
To apply for tuition assistance, all families must complete a financial aid application by completing the following steps:
- Visit Facts Grant & Aid (FGA) and complete a financial aid application. Assistance with the FGA website is available by calling 866-315-9262.
- After completing the FGA online application, upload the required financial documents for the most recent tax year. Required documents include W2’s, IRS Form 1040 and all schedules.
- The application and supporting documents will be reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee and the decision will be shared with the family. If a family qualifies for financial assistance their contract will be adjusted to reflect the aid award and a new signature will be required to accept the adjusted amount.
