| 2018-2019 Re Enrollment & Financial Assistant |
|
February is our "month of re-enrollment."
The re-enrollment site is now open,
February 1, 2018
.
Important Dates for Financial Assistance:
Financial Assistance Website Opened: November 20, 2017
Financial Assistance Application Deadline: February 7, 2018
Valley Christian Schools strives to offer quality education to students of all economic backgrounds. Tuition assistance is available to students accepted for admission with demonstrated financial need.
It is the desire of school administration, subject to the availability of funds, to give all qualified students, regardless of financial resources, the opportunity to attend Valley Christian Schools.
Please note that the financial assistance process is completely separate from the re-enrollment process. The amount of financial assistance is granted on the basis of demonstrated financial need. Although Valley Christian Schools is committed to assisting families, it can only award financial assistance to the extent resources are available. Consequently, not all students who might otherwise qualify receive financial assistance.
Those seeking financial assistance must submit applications for financial assistance on an annual basis prior to the application deadline.
The process requires going to VCS's third-party evaluation partner
(FACTS Grant & Aide Assessment) to complete an application and supply all requested information
at
https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/3F6D3
.
