Information About the Variable Tuition Program
Western remains committed to providing a path to a quality Christian education to all families no matter their economic situation. 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 a discounted tuition, however we realize that even our discounted tuition costs is greater than many can afford. Therefore beginning this year Western is launching Variable Tuition for qualifying families.
Variable Tuition is a need-based tuition assistance program that provides a range of tuition options, as indicated in the table below. The tuition number is recommended by FACTS Aid program, a third-party financial assessment company, which will make a tuition recommendation based on the financial information supplied in the application. The Variable Tuition rate is applied prior to any special grants or other discounts for which a family may qualify. Like any aid program, Variable Tuition discounts are not unlimited. Those who apply and qualify first, will have the best opportunity to be awarded.
