Financial Aid & Scholarships

Financial Aid

Financial aid is available at Unity Christian School for Kindergarten through 12th grades. You must have a completed application for admission on file to be considered for financial aid. Complete the financial aid application through the FACTS website.

There is a $45 processing fee to cover the cost of the application. Documents will be requested during the application process, such as income tax returns and W2 forms. Tuition assistance is awarded for one school year, and families must reapply each year. All combined tuition assistance cannot exceed 80% per family per academic year.

Financial Aid Assistance

• GOAL Scholarship Program: new students entering kindergarten or first grade, or transferring directly from public school, are eligible. GOAL is based on financial need and available funds.

Referrals

Partnering with families in shaping the hearts of their children is at the core of Unity’s mission, and no one can tell the Unity story better than those who experience it every day. We want to help you share the gift of Unity with your friends while increasing our enrollment in grades that have room for growth. Enrollment growth leads to more opportunities for your children, and to a greater Kingdom effectiveness for our school.

If a referred family enrolls, the current Unity family will receive:

• $250 credit for referring a family in PreK3 or PreK4
• $1,000 credit for referring a family in Kindergarten through 12th grade

The current family’s name must be written on the new family’s application for admission.
