Tuition Assistance
Tuition Assistance applications must be in by May 9th
Western Christian School remains committed to providing a path to a quality Christian education to all families, no matter their economic situation, and desires that no mission-appropriate student be denied access to the school solely for financial reasons. What you might not know is the actual cost of tuition is supplemented by our generous donors. So in a real sense, everyone who enrolls at Western receives discounted tuition. However, we realize that even our discounted tuition may create a significant financial burden for many families. As a result, we offer a tuition assistance program.
How Tuition Assistance Works
We work within our available resources to make the school accessible to as many students as possible. Tuition assistance awards are limited to a maximum of 50% of the annual tuition and do not cover student fees. Hardship grants above the 50% limit are based on reported extenuating circumstances.
Any family of a kindergarten through twelfth-grade student may apply. Many factors are considered when determining the amount a family is able to pay, including income, assets, unusual expenses, and the size of the family.
Scholarships and Grants may be given for one year or for a term as short as a quarter. The application process is repeated annually. Thus, all aid recipients must repeat the full application process each year. If a family does not meet the deadlines or follow all the steps correctly, they may not receive tuition assistance.
All decisions are determined by the scholarship committee through a blind review process, with priority consideration given to returning students in good standing. All tuition assistance requests, including financial information and award amounts, are kept completely confidential.
Families may apply for tuition assistance at any time during the admissions process or after enrollment.
Tuition assistance application deadline is May 6th.
Tuition Assistance Process
After submitting an Application for Admission, submit a FACTS Grant & Aid Application. To be considered for aid, all requested documents, along with the $45 processing fee, must be submitted to FACTS.
Applicants who receive awards will have two weeks to accept the award. Awards not accepted within two weeks may be withdrawn at the sole discretion of WCS.
Financial aid awarded may be reduced or withdrawn if a student withdraws. When awarded for more than one family member, the withdrawal of one or more students reduces the amount awarded to the family accordingly.
Assistance requests by prospective families are evaluated in three rounds, the first round starting May 6th, with award decision notifications sent out May 20th.
For requests received after May 9th but by June 4th, second round award decision notifications will be sent out June 17th.
For requests received after June 4th, the third and final cutoff date for applications is August 5th, with award notifications sent out on August 19th.
Families wishing to appeal their financial aid award must submit their appeal by the following deadlines:
-
June 1st for appeals related to the first round of awards (notified on May 20th).
-
August 3rd for appeals related to the second round of awards (notified on June 17th).
All financial aid decisions will be considered final after August 19th, and no further appeals will be accepted beyond that date.
You can appeal your financial aid decision here: Appeal Your Financial Aid Decision
