First, a reminder that if you received a message from the state telling you that your daughter is ”conditionally approved” for a voucher, you need to log in to the state voucher site and confirm that she will attend GPS in the fall. If you do not complete this step by July 15, you will forfeit the voucher. Many of you have already done so, but we are not made aware of those who have received a voucher until this step is completed.

 

Once you inform the state of intent to enroll at GPS, we confirm enrollment with the state and adjust your FACTS account to reflect this anticipated credit on your account. When we do so, you will receive a message from the state saying your voucher is “formally approved” and another from FACTS saying your payment plan has been updated to reflect the scholarship amount; also, your FACTS account will reflect this adjustment. In fact, we have completed all registrants as of this morning, so if you designated GPS, you should have received this email and see the credit in FACTS. The FACTS credit will look like the following, below your other scheduled payments, reflecting our understanding that the state will pay GPS on your behalf by the end of the next school year, June 15, 2026:

 

 

As the year progresses, we understand the state will send quarterly notices requesting your confirmation of enrollment prior to sending funds to GPS. This will be a critical step toward ensuring the credit to your account; if you do not confirm release of these funds in a timely manner, your FACTS balance will be adjusted to reflect this amount you then owe GPS. Remember, too, that you must inform the state when your daughter turns 18.

 

Lastly, please be reminded that the full tuition due remains the responsibility of each family. If circumstances are such that we cannot collect anticipated voucher funds from the state (because the student changes schools, for example) then the family will be responsible for the full amount due including uncollected voucher funds.

 

With this in mind, we are correcting what we’d previously stated: Believing we might not hear from the state until July, we said that families paying full tuition in one payment would need to pay the full tuition then receive a refund from GPS when we received funds from the state. Instead, we have corrected amounts currently due, avoiding the need to collect full amount and issue refunds; full-pay amounts due are correctly reflected in FACTS as of today.

 

As always, please let us know if you have any questions via EFS@GPS.edu.
