Tuition Assistance Fund
A tuition assistance fund was established in 1998 by donations from individuals who feel a quality, Christ-centered environment is a vital piece of a student's education. The ongoing source of these funds is from individual donations, the South Christian Foundation, and projects such as the two STAR (South Christian Tuition Assistance Residence) houses that have been built through the efforts of many individuals in our constituency involved in the building trades.
The tuition assistance fund is used to help individual families who are
unable to pay the full cost of tuition. Last year(05/06) $75,000 was distributed to help
88 students from 55 different families. Many of these families have been
directly affected by the downturn of the economy in the form of job loss,
fewer hours, and/or higher individual insurance costs. Other families
have dealt with long-term illness or disability.
We anticipate even more requests this year. For those of us who have been richly blessed, this is an opportunity to help our extended Christian family. We can take seriously the vows we make at the baptism of infants to stand with the parents in their instruction in the faith.
We recognize that the needs for assistance are only going to increase. We have several programs that will, along with individual donations, help to ensure that we will be able to provide assistance in the future.
