Admissions
Financial Aid
Covenant Life School has established a Tuition Assistance Fund to provide aid to families with a demonstrated need for enrolling students full-time in the school. In the past, about 30-35% of the students at Covenant Life School have received financial aid, and typical tuition assistance grants have ranged from $500 to $2,000 per student.
We strongly encourage every family with financial limitations to apply for financial aid. Likewise, we encourage families without such limitations to consider making a contribution toward Financial Aid.
Financial Aid Policy
Covenant Life School is committed to offering tuition assistance grants to as many eligible applicants as possible. Tuition assistance decisions are constrained by available resources, the number of qualified applicants and overall budgetary constraints. The school board determines a pre-established limit on how much financial aid can be awarded each year, based on philanthropic gifts to the school’s Tuition Assistance Fund.
In an effort to make the disbursement of funds as equitable as possible, the school considers the following when making award decisions:
- The primary responsibility for financing a student's education rests with the parents.
- Both parents are expected to contribute toward tuition.
- Covenant Life School is not bound by any divorce or separation agreement specifying a parent's responsibility for educational expenses. Both parents should file an application for financial aid.
- Covenant Life School believes a family should invest in their children's education before elective expenses such as secondary home ownership, club memberships, expensive car leases/purchases, and the like.
