Financial Aid

We desire to make Christian education available to all families who passionately desire to have their children learn and know Christ and our school board has budgeted tuition assistance to families based on financial need. We believe parents have the primary responsibility to provide for the education of their children to the best of their ability, and as our ministry, we are committed to assisting families to the fullest of our financial ability.

In order to provide families with complete confidentiality and objectivity, our school utilizes the services of FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, a service of FACTS Management Company, Inc. Their primary objective is to assist schools in assessing and determining allocations of financial aid. FACTS reviews each applicant's financial data and recommends financial aid based on a standard method of computation. FACTS Management's formula is based on family income and our school's tuition structure. The final decision on each family's financial aid remains under the school's authority.

To Apply for Financial Aid:

• Students must first be enrolled/re-registered for the school year in which they need financial aid and the enrollment/re-registration fee must be paid (see note below about refunds).
• Go to www.factstuitionaid.com to complete a financial aid application and follow their instructions for submitting all additional information they require.
• Applications need to be submitted by February 13, 2008.

The amount of money designated by the school board for financial aid is limited. Financial aid is awarded on an annual basis only; families must re-apply each year and should not assume that the same amount will be awarded each year.

Note: The SFCS student application fee and is non-refundable. The new student one-time enrollment fee and the re-registration fee for returning students can be refunded if the financial aid package offered is declined.
