The goal of the tuition assistance program is to come alongside families who are willing to make a sacrificial investment in their child’s education, but need additional financial support.
The program is funded by Dayton Christian School and is offered to students attending the traditional K-12 program. We take an individualized approach to tuition assistance with awards up to 40% off remaining tuition total.
Dayton Christian uses an independent organization, FACTS, to assess a family’s level of need. FACTS evaluation considers a number of factors in determining a family’s need including income, expenses, assets, family size, and the number of children attending Dayton Christian. All personal and financial information is kept strictly confidential and secure. All awards are offered for one academic year and can’t be combined with other forms of discounts. Families seeking tuition assistance must apply annually.
