Tuition Reduction

Updated information about applications for tuition reduction for the 2022-2023 school year is forthcoming.

The tuition reduction program at FCA is unfunded. Our tuition reductions are given to those with proven financial need after the first full year of enrollment based on a system called F.A.I.R., which stands for:

  • Financial Need – An independent, third-party service, FAST, assesses financial need based on each applicant’s financial information.
  • Academics – The academic and behavior record of the student(s) will be considered.
  • Involvement – Student(s) and family involvement through volunteer hours will be considered.
  • Reference – Each family applying for a tuition reduction is required to obtain a pastor reference form.  Additionally, all faculty whom your child interacts with regularly will be consulted.
Steps Necessary to Complete the Financial Aid Application Process
  • Update your service hours in FACTS (RenWeb). All families awarded financial aid are expected to complete no less than 50 hours of volunteer service during the 2021-2022 school year.
  • Secure a pastor reference by returning a completed pastor reference form by March 1, 2021, and return it to the administrative assistant for finance (cravenm@fcaclassical.com).
  • Complete a FAST application form, including tax documentation.
  • Remit a $45 non-refundable processing fee directly to FAST; and remit a $25 non-refundable processing fee to FCA via FACTS (RenWeb).
  • Expect a letter notifying you with a determination about your tuition reduction.
  • Sign and return the letter, signaling your agreement with the terms.
  • Expect to meet with the Head of School for further explanation.
  • Payment agreements for those seeing financial aid will be due one week after meeting with the Head of School.

Tuition Discounts

Faith Christian Academy also offers tuition discounts for children of students or faculty members of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, senior pastors, and missionaries. Please complete and submit the ministry tuition discount form for consideration.
