Cary Christian School (Cary, NC): Scholarship Status & Funding

About this data. School facts come from the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24, plus 2021-22 rows for schools that skipped the latest round). The Direct Payment flag comes from matching names, by county and with code, against the NCSEAA Direct Payment Schools table for 2026-27, downloaded October 30, 2026. Schools found only on the state list show a name and town and nothing else. Neither source reports tuition, so ask the school.

Missing from the 2026-27 Direct Payment table, so the state cannot pay an award to this school this year

Does Cary Christian School take the NC Opportunity Scholarship?

Not for 2026-27, as far as the state table shows.

If it is your first choice, ask the school whether it is registered under another name or plans to join for 2027-28.
