It will also be connected to your payment preferences, which will be used for paying tuition and fees as well as other incidental billing throughout the school year.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
We offer need-based financial aid in order to make Christian education affordable to all families at KCC in K-12. Our Preschool Program as well as Kindergarten Enrichment do not qualify for Financial Aid. Our allocation of financial aid is overseen by our school’s Finance Team. Take a look at our KCC Family Financial Information here.
Application for financial aid is handled through FACTS and can be accessed through the online application process. Applying for financial aid is separate from the application/enrollment process, but can be completed simultaneously. Applications for financial aid (one per family) should be submitted when you begin the application/enrollment process. There is a one-time, non-refundable $40 application fee. Financial aid will not be awarded until the enrollment process is complete.

Should every new or returning Kansas City Christian family submit an application for financial assistance?
No. Only families who feel that they are not able to pay full tuition should submit an application.
Do I need to apply for assistance every year?
Yes, a new application must be submitted every year. Returning students can apply beginning in February.
Do returning students receive priority over new students when applying for financial assistance?
Yes. Re-enrolling Kansas City Christian students who submit an application by the published deadline will receive priority consideration.
If I do not qualify for the program this year, can I apply again next year?
Yes. A family that does not qualify is welcome to reapply the following year.
Do I need to apply for admission separately from applying for financial assistance?
Yes. For new students, an application for admission to the school must be submitted before an application for financial assistance. For returning students, the re-enrollment contract must be completed before the financial assistance application.
