An Investment Worth Making

At Tennessee Christian, we understand the financial commitments that come with providing each child an excellent education, and we are committed to supporting families in their educational journey.

We pride ourselves not only on academic excellence but also on fostering a culture that nurtures each individual within our community. Our commitment to nurturing goes beyond the classroom; it permeates every interaction, every lesson, and every aspect of our school life. We aim to provide an environment where every student feels seen, heard, and valued as a son or daughter in Christ (I John 3:1, John 15:12).

Financial Aid Opportunities

Tennessee Christian Preparatory School offers need-based tuition assistance to K-12 students whose performance indicates academic motivation as well as exemplary behavior and attendance. Being a private Christian education, the funding for our need-based tuition assistance program is supported solely by the generosity of our families and relationships built within our beloved community.

We encourage all families in financial need to apply for both the Education Freedom Scholarship (EFS) and Tuition Assistance (TA). If more than one award is granted, the family must determine the best offer to accept.

 

Who can apply for Tuition Assistance?
Applications for our need-based tuition assistance are available to any family with a rising K-12 student.

When should I apply for Tuition Assistance?
All applicants must first fill out the Student Application. Once complete, applicants may fill out the FACTS Student Aid Application.

What if I missed the Tuition Assistance deadline?
Tuition Assistance is granted and continued only if funds are available and all guidelines are met.

Annual tuition amounts vary by class, grade, and payment plan type.

Tennessee Christian's Need-Based Tuition Assistance (TA)
Tennessee Christian Preparatory School offers eligible families need-based tuition assistance to students whose performance indicates academic motivation as well as exemplary behavior and attendance. We use FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment Services to provide a thorough evaluation of all qualified tuition assistance applications. A $45 application fee is required at the time of submission.

  • Award Amount:
    • Tuition Assistance is determined per student, not per family, and will only be
      considered after the applicable student's admission application has been reviewed by
      the Admissions Committee.
    • The Tuition Assistance Committee will review the recommendation made by FACTS to
      determine the amount of assistance the applicant might be eligible to receive.
    • Tuition Assistance is granted and continued throughout the approved period only if
      funds are available and all guidelines are met.
    • If qualified, Tuition Assistance is awarded for one school year only.
    • For each new school year Tuition Assistance is desired, supplemental information will
      be required and must be provided by the annual deadline.
    • Need-based Tuition Assistance will not be provided to cover the cost of annual school
      fees. Enrollment, Technology, and other fees must be paid in full prior to receiving
      Tuition Assistance.
  • Eligibility Highlights:
    • The application process for Tuition Assistance is available for rising K-12th-grade
      students.
    • The parent/guardian must file a FACTS Student Aid Form in order to apply for
      need-based tuition assistance.
    • A student's admission application must be submitted prior to beginning the application
      for Tuition Assistance.
    • If Tuition Assistance is awarded to a student, that does not guarantee academic
      acceptance (the remaining enrollment process is required).
    • The Admissions Committee works closely with the Tuition Assistance Committee, and
      they are completely separate processes.
    • FACTS will require income verification and will require that you upload supporting
      documents (Tax Returns, W-2's, etc.).
    • The parent/guardian must provide, along with the FACTS form, the most recent
      income tax return that was submitted to the IRS as well as a copy of a recent
      paycheck stub for every employed member of the family along with any other
      materials requested by FACTS.
