FACTS Partners with RedefinED School Advancement to Help Schools Maximize Scholarship Funding

Lincoln, Neb., Tuesday, March 31, 2026 – FACTS, a Nelnet company, is pleased to announce a national partnership with RedefinED School Advancement, a K-12 advancement organization dedicated to helping schools grow scholarship funding and increase financial accessibility for families.

Through this partnership, FACTS and RedefinED School Advancement will work together to help schools prepare for and participate in state and federal scholarship tax credit programs, including the Education Freedom Tax Credit. FACTS provides the financial aid infrastructure and operational systems schools rely on to manage applications, process awards, and report outcomes. RedefinED School Advancement brings a proven advancement strategy, donor ecosystem expertise, and a dedicated team to help schools grow the scholarship dollars that fund those awards.

Together, the partnership addresses one of the most persistent challenges facing private K-12 schools: closing the gap between the cost of tuition and what families can afford, without placing additional burden on school staff.

“The partnership between FACTS and RedefinED School Advancement has the power to transform what is possible for schools and the families they serve,” said Alyse Maslonik, founder and CEO of RedefinED School Advancement. “Together, we are equipping schools to unlock unprecedented scholarship funding so more students can access the education that will shape their future. When schools prosper and families are empowered with opportunity, lives are changed. That is the mission that drives this work every single day.”

RedefinED School Advancement has raised more than $85 million in scholarships, supporting over 20,000 students, and currently partners with schools across the country. Its FUNDamentals™ process provides schools with a structured, four-step approach to growing tuition revenue through scholarship funding, supported by a dedicated three-person advancement team for each school it serves. FACTS serves more than 13,000 schools across the United States, providing financial aid management, payment plans, application and enrollment tools, and student information systems that form the operational foundation for scholarship program participation.

“If you are a school leader trying to navigate the growing world of scholarship tax credit programs, you should not have to figure it out alone,” Maslonik added. “Partnering with RedefinED School Advancement means having a proven strategy and experienced team dedicated to helping your school maximize scholarship funding for your families. With the national reach and trusted infrastructure of FACTS supporting this work, schools now have the tools, technology, and expertise to unlock opportunities that were never before possible.”

With state scholarship tax credit programs expanding and the Education Freedom Tax Credit on the horizon, schools need both the operational infrastructure to participate and a clear strategy to maximize the funding available to their families. This partnership gives them both.
