Financial Aid
Providing the resources to help make Christian Education accessible is a priority at TCA. We offer need-based financial aid for students in grades Pre-K – 12th to qualifying families who desire a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum taught with a transformational biblical worldview. Financial need is determined by FACTS, a third party vendor. We are here to help you through this process.
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
• No student is given financial aid for academic or athletic ability. TCA does not provide merit scholarships of any kind.
• The average financial aid is not intended to cover the total tuition costs. The family is responsible for payment of tuition and fees above the aid amount.
• Parents must reapply each year for financial aid.
• Families must be in good financial standing with the Business Office to be eligible for financial aid.
How to Apply for Financial Aid

1. Prospective students must submit a TCA application in order for the financial aid application to be considered by the TCA Financial Aid Committee. March 17th is the deadline for current TCA families to apply for 2025-2026 Priority Financial Aid. Current families who complete financial aid applications after March 17th will be evaluated in July with remaining aid; fund availability is not guaranteed.
Required Supporting Documents for both parents/guardians:
• 2023 IRS Form 1040 or equivalent and all supporting tax schedules
• 2024 FORM W-2 for both parents and supporting documentation for Social Security income
• Welfare payments
• Child support payments
• Food stamps
• Workers’ compensation payments
• Temporary Assistance to Needy Family (TANF) payments
Additional documentation is required if you own a business or farm.
2. Applications are not considered complete until all the required supporting documents have been uploaded to FACTS. After FACTS receives all documents, their verification process takes approximately 14 days. For current TCA families, it would be best to upload all documents by March 1st to meet the March 17th deadline.
3. Once all documents have been submitted, FACTS will notify TCA of the amount of qualified need toward the total tuition bill (of all students) for the family.
4. The Finance Committee reviews FACTS recommendations and an assistance amount is determined based on qualified need and the budgeted amount of assistance dollars available. The Business Manager will communicate the need based award (if applicable) at that time.
