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.

Click here 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 15th is the deadline for current TCA families to apply for 2024-2025 Priority Financial Aid. Current families who complete financial aid applications after March 15th will be evaluated in July with remaining aid; fund availability is not guaranteed.

Required Supporting Documents for both parents/guardians:

• 2022 IRS Form 1040 or equivalent and all supporting tax schedules
• 2023 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 15th 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.

TCA, like all independent schools, must take the position that no refund of tuition paid, or cancellation of tuition due, can be made in the event of absence, withdrawal or dismissal of the student. The Tuition Refund Plan (TRP) is required of all families who opt for the monthly payment plan. This is included in the 3.4% monthly installment fee. For families choosing one-time pay, it is strongly recommended, but not required.

The plan pays 60% of the unused tuition fee for withdrawals for any student who has attended TCA more than fourteen consecutive calendar days. The family is responsible for 40% of the unused portion of tuition at the time of withdrawal.

Please contact the Business Office at 731-410-8068 for more information. To read more click here.

TCA contracts with FACTS, a leading independent school, tuition-management company, for the billing and collection of tuition by convenient automatic payments from checking or saving accounts, or by credit card.

New TCA students: If tuition payments begin after June due to timing of enrollment, monthly payment amounts will increase to reflect the shorter payment period.

Each TCA family has the option of purchasing Student Accident Insurance through DEWAR. The cost of the insurance is $45 per student. For more information about the Student Accident Insurance, click here. Note that you must opt in or out of the Student Accident Insurance during the enrollment process.
