Financial Aid
Dominion Christian High School is committed to providing a Christ-centered educational program of excellence, and to making that program accessible to all qualified families who desire it. We recognize that financing a Christian school education is a major commitment for families. Therefore, we allocate a significant amount of funds to our need-based financial aid program.
Criteria
The following criteria must be met in order to be considered for financial assistance:
- Financial assistance is available to both new and returning students.
- The student billing account must not be in arrears (currently-enrolled students).
- The student must be in good standing academically and behaviorally (currently-enrolled students).
- New students must meet all admissions criteria and must have been accepted for enrollment.
- No more than 50% of tuition will be awarded to any one student through the financial aid program.
- Grantees must re-apply for financial aid each year.
- An award of financial aid in one year does not imply that financial aid will be awarded in succeeding years, nor does it imply that the amount of aid granted will be the same in succeeding years.
- Students receiving financial aid must maintain a 2.5 GPA, or the financial aid will be revoked for the remainder of the school year.
The completion of the financial aid application is not a binding agreement that any assistance is available or will be granted.
Procedures
- The admissions application or re-enrollment form must have been submitted, along with the enrollment/re-enrollment fee, prior to submitting an application for financial aid.
- Request a packet of financial aid materials from the school office.
- Families are to complete the FACTS “Grant & Aid Assessment” form. This may be completed online (www.factstuitionaid.com) or by a paper form. Only one form needs to be completed each year, even if you have several children at Dominion.
- All requested forms must be submitted to FACTS, including income tax returns, W-2 forms, etc., before an application will be considered.
- Financial aid applications must be submitted to FACTS, along with all supporting documentation, no later than April 15. After that date, there may be no funds available for financial aid.
- The Financial Aid Committee will review all applications and determine if a financial aid award will be granted, and what amount the grant will be.
- Letters confirming decisions on financial aid grants will be mailed to applicant families on May 1.
- The financial aid acceptance letter must be signed and returned to the school by May 15, or the award may be revoked and the funds given to other students.
- Acceptance for admission is required prior to any award notification.
- For families who have unexpected needs arise after the April 15 deadline, the FACTS application may still be submitted. However, any awards will be dependent on the availability of funds in the financial aid budget.
To request an application for financial aid, please contact the Admissions Office at 770-420-2153 or email admissions@dominionchristian.org.
