GCS Tuition & Financial Aid

Financial Aid

Goodpasture Christian School believes that a Christian education is first and foremost a commitment and responsibility of the parents. We do however offer financial assistance to help offset the cost of tuition for students in kindergarten through 12th grade for families who demonstrate a need. In order to be considered for financial assistance, you must first complete the admissions process and be accepted. The Admissions Committee makes acceptance decisions well in advance of the financial aid process so that the aid request is not a factor in the admissions decision. A separate application for financial aid is necessary and is reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee, which is independent of the Admissions Committee. Need-based financial assistance is awarded annually and renewal is not automatic or guaranteed as funds may vary and family’s finances may change. Therefore, families are required to submit applications annually.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Financial Aid Process

How is financial aid awarded?

Financial aid is awarded based on the need of the family. Goodpasture Christian School uses a third party, FAST by ISM, to calculate the amount a family can afford for a Christian education based on the information provided by the parent.

Financial aid award notifications will be emailed to families in a timely manner. It is required that families respond to the award as soon as possible.
Are there any restrictions on financial aid decisions?

All financial accounts must be kept current. Each student is expected to abide by all guidelines and policies that are set forth in the student handbook.
