Helpful Hints on Completing
the FACTS Grant and Aid Application Online

The Catholic Education Foundation at the Diocese of Joliet uses a third party company, FACTS, in order to objectively evaluate the need for financial aid.

The web site for the FACTS Company is www.factsmgt.com. Families wishing to apply for grant and aid online should select “Parents and Students” from the main page. Then find FACTS grant and aid assessment in the right column and select “Apply for Financial Aid”. Most families will need to create a new user account. There is a required $20 application fee per family.

Questions on completing the FACTS Grant and Aid application may be answered by calling the FACTS office directly at 1-866-315-9262.

It is important to note that families will not be considered for financial aid until their application is verified by the FACTS Company. Often FACTS will require copies of financial documents in order to verify an application. Families should work directly with the company in order to verify all information in a timely fashion in order to be considered for financial aid. Submitting an application does not mean that the application has been verified.
