Financial Aid

Southwest Christian School subscribes to the philosophy of need-based financial aid as opposed to merit-based scholarships. Consequently, no awards are made solely on the basis of academic, athletic or artistic ability. Such a philosophy makes the school accessible to candidates from a broader cross-section of the community, thereby strengthening the pool of applicants and enabling Southwest Christian students to learn and grow in a more varied peer group. 

Requirements

  • Must be enrolled or accepted for admission to SCS
  • Must exhibit exemplary citizenship and a positive classroom attitude reflected by above average grades in core classes
  • Must actively participate in the life of SCS
  • Parents’ financial statement must show demonstrated financial need
  • Must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.5

Guidelines

  • Financial Aid is not granted to Early Childhood students
  • Financial aid is granted on a per student basis, not per family
  • Financial aid is granted per year and must be applied for annually with all accounts current
  • All financial aid deadlines must be met
  • Need must be shown

Application Process

  • Financial Aid applications are processed by FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment.  CLICK HERE TO APPLY.
  • Current families must apply by November 1, to be considered in first-round financial aid placements. To receive consideration for aid, the application must be completed in its entirety, including documentation required by FACTS (tax returns, W2s, and any other requested supporting documents).
  • New families applying for admission to SCS may apply for financial aid at the same time they submit their application for admission.
  • If a student is accepted for admission, the enrollment fee of 10% will be required to save the student’s place before financial aid awards are made. The enrollment fee will be completely refunded if the aid amount is not sufficient for the student to enroll.

Competition for financial aid is significant. Limited funds may prevent the Financial Aid Committee from offering assistance to all qualified deserving applicants. Therefore, students to whom financial assistance is awarded are expected to accept or decline the award within two weeks of notification. In the event the student fails to comply with this requirement, the Financial Aid Committee reserves the right to award the aid to an alternate candidate.

Southwest Christian School values being an independent, interdenominational Christian school that is available to families regardless of their race, ethnicity, or socio-economic status.
