Will Center support continue in future years?
In extending financial aid to a family, The Center attempts to support the student's attendance for the entire time he/she is enrolled, pending continued need. If your financial circumstances change, and your ability to contribute to your child's educational expenses increases, your award may be decreased accordingly. If your ability to pay educational expenses decreases, The Center will make every effort to increase the award.

What if I am a single parent, never married, separated or divorced?
If parents are living separately, both custodial and non-custodial parents must complete a FAST application and submit all required documents as we expect both parents will contribute to the education of their child.
If a parent’s whereabouts is unknown, or a claim is made stating there is no involvement in the child’s upbringing, application forms may not be required, but documentation will be required to verify that the parent has no contact with the applicant.
What if I have remarried, have a significant other, or my child has multiple parents?
Financial information is required of all adults, including step-parents, involved in the applicant’s life. The financial information submitted to FAST must include all household income and assets.
Remarriage of either parent creates a new family unit with new relationships, but we believe that natural (or adoptive) parents still have a responsibility for educational expenses.
What if I lose my job or my source of income?
This information should be included on the FAST application and, should this occur subsequent to award distribution, communicated to The Center with as much supporting information as possible.
Who can I contact at The Center if I have additional policy questions?
Applicant families can contact Deedie Hudnut, Director of Admissions with any questions.
