Tuition Assistance

Oakland Christian School offers need-based tuition assistance grants to new and returning families with students enrolling in Junior Kindergarten through 12th grade. 

Oakland Christian School uses the analysis of an outside, objective service called FACTS: Grant & Aid Assessment. This is an independent, third-party company that conducts financial analysis to provide OCS with a recommendation of your family's financial need. OCS receives a confidential report based on the information obtained in your application and supporting tax documents.

Tuition assistance grants are funded by Oakland Christian School and are awarded to families who apply for and qualify for need-based tuition assistance. Tuition grants will be awarded according to a family's qualifying need and are limited to funds available in Oakland Christian’s tuition assistance program. 

Families interested in tuition assistance may apply by submitting an online application through FACTS Grant & Aid. There is a $35 fee to apply. To be considered for a tuition assistance grant, a financial aid application must be submitted each year.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I apply for tuition assistance?

Tuition Assistance (FACTS Grant & Aid) applications may be submitted before, during, or after an Oakland Christian application is submitted.  You should apply for tuition assistance as early as possible since grant funds are limited. Grant applications for the 2023-24 academic year will open on December 1, 2022. 

Do I need to apply for tuition assistance each year?

Yes. A new tuition assistance application must be submitted each year.

Do I need to apply for admission to Oakland Christian School separately?

Yes. For new students, an application for admission must be submitted in addition to the tuition assistance application.

Are some families awarded full tuition?

No. Every family is required to make a financial investment in their child’s education. Our commitment to providing tuition assistance means that we are sharing in that investment with you.

What kind of economic situation is typical for families who qualify for tuition assistance?

A wide range of families with a variety of circumstances can qualify for a tuition assistance grant. Many factors are evaluated, including income, assets, unusual expenses, and the size of the family. 

I'm having trouble with my tuition assistance application. Who should I contact?

There are some general questions that the Oakland Christian Admissions or Financial office can answer, but if you have questions about the tuition assistance application itself, contact FACTS at 866-315-9262. You may also refer to the FACTS Grant & Aid FAQs HERE.
