Dear Families:

Santiam Christian Schools has established financial assistance for those families who desire to be at SC but may require additional resources. SC uses FACTS Grant & Aid to collect and analyze the financial need of our families and then we award aid based on the information collected from FACTS.

Families may begin applying online on March 15, here. Applicants will need their 2024 and 2025 tax returns and $35 (processing fee) to complete the application. Applications may take 2-4 weeks once all required documents are submitted; an incomplete and unverifiable application will not be reviewed until all information has been submitted. Preschool and 1/2-day kindergarten are not eligible for scholarships.

Priority is given to completed and verified applications that are received by April 1, with aid notifications beginning April 25. Standard review will be processed on completed and verified applications that are received by May 5. If there is a reason, you are unable to complete the application process by May 5, please email with an explanation and anticipated completion date.

Financial Aid is open through July 1 and depends on the remaining funds available.

As with all things, there has to be a timeline to make things work. Families who do not complete the application process should be prepared to pay all educational costs.

Sincerely,

Business Office
Santiam Christian Schools
