Little Bit Tuition Aid Application

Little Bit utilizes FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition) program to support our tuition aid process and give families a better opportunity to represent their current circumstances. FAST will process tuition aid applications, and Little Bit makes all decisions regarding who receives tuition assistance and how much. FAST is an online program that requires Internet access, an email account, and a web browser. Once you have applied, your information will be used to determine if tuition aid will be granted.

Your application will be valid for one year beginning summer 2024 through spring 2025 sessions (not a calendar year). You only need to apply once per year. If you only need to request tuition aid for one session, please inform Roxanne Corridan, Office Manager, at 425- 882-1554 x101 or at registration@littlebit.org.
