Variable Tuition - Financial Aid

Our Variable Tuition program adjusts tuition for qualifying families based on financial need. Any potential discount is determined by FACTS Financial Aid, a third-party financial assessment company. Please refer to the Tuition Range below to view potential savings. Discounts are applied prior to any general discounts a family may qualify for. There is a $40 application fee due upon submission. 


Returning families must complete the Variable Tuition Application process by no later than June 1st to be considered for a tuition discount. New families must complete the Variable Tuition Application process no later than June 1st or within 30 days from the submission of the enrollment packet to be considered for a tuition discount.


Variable Tuition Frequently Asked Questions

Should every new Horizon Christian family submit an application for Variable Tuition?
