Tuition Assistance                                

It is our hope that every family who sincerely desires to have their children at Statesville Christian School will be able to do so regardless of their financial situation. At the same time, we must balance our stewardship responsibility to compensate our teachers and staff according to Biblical principles. Tuition assistance awards are granted for a maximum period of one school year. We ask families to reapply each spring. To maintain the fiscal integrity of the school and to provide as many families as possible access to financial aid, grants will generally not exceed 35% of tuition. Priority for consideration in granting tuition assistance is given to SCS faculty/staff, ordained ministers, currently enrolled families, students enrolled in upper grades, and students enrolled in classes with vacancies. New families, who apply for tuition assistance and do not receive as much aid as they believe they can adequately manage, may have their enrollment fee reimbursed upon request. Tuition assistance may be forfeited if the student is placed on probation due to academic, behavior, or attendance deficiencies, or if a the balance of the account is more than sixty days past due.
