3 easy steps for using AAA scholarships at private schools
Step 1. Application Submission – Applicants must submit their scholarship applications to AAA by the designated deadline. Upon completion of the application, applicants will receive a determination letter via email. This email will also include a link to access the School Commitment Form (SCF), should the students be awarded. The applicant is required to complete the SCF by the set deadline.
Step 2. School Commitment Form (SCF) – Both the parent and school must confirm enrollment by submitting an SCF to AAA:
a) Parents will be emailed a link to the SCF. They must complete and submit one SCF for each student attending a private school. This includes uploading proof of enrollment* at the eligible private school and uploading a copy of the private school’s fee schedule.
b) Schools will be emailed a link to the School SCF once the parent’s submitted SCF has been reviewed. Once submitted, the School SCF will be reviewed by AAA in order to finalize the SCF process.
Step 3. Scholarship Payments – Both the school and parent must verify continued enrollment and attendance for payments to be released:
a) Verification Reports (VR): Schools will be email a VR detailing the roster of AAA students for whom the SCF process has been finalized as per the payment schedule. The school must complete the VR, indicating any student absences, with a maximum allowable of 18 days per year, whether excused or unexcused. The school must also verify that the parent is meeting their private pay obligations, if any. The completed VR should be returned to AAA by the specified deadline.
b) Payment Approval Form (PAF): Parents will be emailed a PAF for each scholarship student. This form must be completed and submitted to AAA by the deadline to facilitate the ACH payment process. We advise parents to complete this promptly to avoid payment delays.
*Proof of enrollment must include the following details:
- The name of the school or its logo (letterhead)
- The student’s full name
- The grade level
- The enrollment date (academic year)
