The Parent voluntarily and knowingly waives any right they have to a jury trial. These terms provide that all disputes between the Parent and Veritas will be resolved by binding arbitration. The Parent thus gives up any right to go to court to assert or defend his/her rights. The Parent also gives up his/her rights to participate in or bring class actions. Parents’ rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator(s), not a judge or jury.

    Terms and conditions are subject to change. Advance notice of any significant changes will be provided.

VSA Scholarship Funds

1. Scholarship Application and Award Process:
a. Scholarship applications are available in early March and due in early May.
b. Recipients are notified in mid-to-late June, with scholarship funds applied in July and August.
2. Important Considerations for Scholarship Use:
a. Scholarship funds cannot be used for course deposits, summer courses, self-paced courses, self-paced archive courses, VSA clubs, Diploma fees, or curriculum.
b. Students are not required to be enrolled in a course to apply for a scholarship. However, if awarded, the student must be enrolled in a course and have paid the $95 deposit before the scholarship can be applied to the remaining balance.
c. If a scholarship is applied to a course that has already been paid in full, a refund will be issued.
d. Scholarships are awarded on a per-student, per-course basis. For example, if a family is awarded $100 for two live courses but only registers for one, they will receive a $50 scholarship.
