Families concerned about their ability to pay for their student(s) may apply to demonstrate need for a different tuition rate.
Many factors are considered when determining the tuition amount a family is able to pay, including income, assets, unusual expenses, and the size of the family. The resources available for the family in a given year must also be considered in light of the funds available at Trinity Christian School.
An application for Variable Tuition does not affect the re-enrollment or admission process. Regardless of financial need, parents should start the admission process as early as possible. Families may apply for Variable Tuition only after they have started an application for admission to the school.
It is not possible for a family or the school to estimate the appropriate tuition level for a family without the completion of a Variable Tuition application. Once a Variable Tuition application is completed, FAST evaluates the application based on criteria set by the school and makes recommendations to the school's Variable Tuition team. Families are notified of the tuition rate assigned through an email or letter from the Business Office.
Unfortunately, the school is not able to provide Variable Tuition to every deserving student. We work within the available resources to make the school accessible to as many students and families as possible.
