A Christian school education is a sound investment that can prepare a child both academically and spiritually for life.  Unfortunately, while many parents may dream of sending their children to a Christian school, finances may prevent some from even considering this educational option.   By doing some homework, these families could discover ways to obtain the necessary funding to make the cost more affordable and the dream of a Christian school education a reality.

If you are considering a Christian school education for your child but are concerned about the cost, here are three options to explore:

School Tuition Assistance and Discounts

To help families afford the cost of attending, most Christian schools offer various discounts, such as early registration, multiple-child or multiple-year enrollment incentives.  Ask the schools in your area what types of discounts they offer to determine which discounts you might be able to take advantage of.

Many schools also offer needs-based financial assistance.  Those interested in participating in this type of a program are typically required to apply by a specified date and provide financial information in order for the school to determine financial need.

Grants and Scholarships

Conducting online research may uncover leads for grants or other awards you could apply for to help finance the cost of tuition.  Entering a phrase such as  “private school grants” or “private school scholarships” could bring up possible options or provide the initial information needed to further guide your search.  

Family and Friends

Lastly, prayerfully consider asking family and friends to invest in your child’s future by offering financial support.  In addition, check with your church to determine whether they can provide support as well.

Don’t let the cost deter you from considering a Christian school education.  If this type of an education is a priority for your family, prayerfully considering and working through these options may help your dream become a reality.
