Fees
You may have recently received an email regarding an Outstanding Fee Balance. If you have already made arrangements for payment, thank you! If payment is still due, checks can be sent to the high school office through your student or their instructor. They should be made payable to DACC noting your student’s name and lab in the memo section. If you prefer to pay with a credit card, please call Lilian Robinson at 740.203.2230.
Fee Waivers
Your student may be eligible to have all or part of their fees waived except for CTSO dues. Families need to apply annually for this assistance even if they have already applied at their home schools.
To determine eligibility for additional State and Federal program benefits for which your child may qualify, please complete, sign, and return the below Household Income Survey to DACC. DACC must have its own form completed separately from the home school.
It is important that YES is marked in the Fee Waiver Consent Section on the first page. Please return forms to the high school office or email to the Cafeteria Manager, Kendall Friend, at friendk@delawareareacc.org.
Student Assistance
Student assistance is available to families who qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch to pay fees that are not waived. It is also available to any family facing hardship and unable to pay fees.
Both the Household Income Survey and Student Assistance forms need to be completed to be considered for Student Assistance.
