2010/2011 Financial Assistance Program

The Board of Trustees of Heritage Christian School offers financial assistance to families who demonstrate financial need. The objective of the HCS Financial Assistance Program is to help close the gap between the amount a family can afford and the cost of an HCS education.

How is aid determined?
Each case is confidential and is evaluated by the Finance Committee. The amount of aid is based on several factors including family income, expenses, assets and number of dependents.

The amount of aid granted during any given year will vary based on pre-approved amounts of financial assistance that may be granted as determined annually by the Finance Committee.

Financial assistance is offered on an annual basis; therefore, parents or guardians must re-apply for financial assistance every school year.

What paperwork is necessary?
In order for your application to be submitted to the Finance Committee for review, ALL of the following documents must be turned in to the HCS office:

  • Re-Enrollment Form or New Student Application
  • Financial Assistance Application
  • Letter explaining need for Financial Assistance
  • Financial Need Worksheet
  • Copy of 2009 W-2 and Tax Returns (if 2009 tax returns are not available at time of application, please submit when available)
  • Copy of student’s report cards from the last 2 school years (for new students only)

All information provided will be kept strictly confidential.

What other requirements are necessary to be considered for Financial Assistance?

  • Applicants may be required to meet with Principal and/or Finance Committee. If deemed not necessary, application and supporting documents will be presented to Finance Committee by Principal.
  • All existing accounts must be current before assistance will be considered.
  • Students receiving tuition assistance must at least maintain a 2.0 grade point average.
  • All families who are receiving financial assistance must be willing to work on a volunteer basis when needed.
  • All families who are receiving financial assistance are required to participate in school fundraisers, including the Gift Card program.
  • A suspension or expulsion will result in the loss of financial assistance.
  • Tuition payments must be received no later than the 5th of each month. Accounts that fall delinquent may result in the loss of financial assistance unless prior arrangements have been made with the Finance Committee.
  • Upon acceptance, parent or guardian must sign the Financial Agreement and all other required enrollment paperwork.

When is the deadline?
Returning families will be given priority consideration for financial assistance by applying before February 26, 2010. After February 26, 2010, applications (new or returning families) will be processed in the order they are received. Pre-approval of financial assistance does not guarantee admittance to HCS.

What happens after the application and other paperwork are submitted?
Following the HCS Finance Committee's review, applicants will be notified by mail or e-mail of the committee's decision. Please allow up to four weeks for the entire process.

Thank you for choosing HCS for your child(ren)'s education. Should you have additional questions or require additional assistance, please contact jgaynor@heritagehristianschool.com.
