It is our hope to make Mount Horeb Christian School as affordable as possible for families who desire a Christian education for their children. MHCS works hard to balance the goal of making tuition as affordable as possible with the responsibility to operate the school on sound financial principals. Therefore, multiple tuition assistance options are available for families who qualify, and are outlined below.
WISCONSIN PARENTAL CHOICE PROGRAM (WPCP)
Families who meet certain income requirements may qualify for free tuition. More information about the WPCP can be found here.
NEEDS-BASED FINANCIAL AID
The MHCS Scholarship/Financial Aid Fund has been established to assist families who qualify for tuition assistance, and have not been accepted into the WPCP. Our financial aid is needs-based, and is based on a family's household income. MHCS uses a third party FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment* to help determine who qualifies for financial aid. Families who qualify can receive up to a 50% tuition discount.
First round applications will be reviewed in early May, please submit applications by the last Friday in April to be considered in this first round.
VARIABLE TUITION
Variable Tuition is designed for those families with multiple children that may not qualify for the Needs-Based Financial Aid, or have not been accepted into the WPCP, but would benefit from slightly reduced tuition. This helps make an education at MHCS affordable to many qualified students who could not otherwise join our school community. MHCS uses a third party, FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment* to help determine who qualifies for variable tuition.
1st Student in Household: No discount
2nd Student in Household: Maximum 20% discount
3rd Student in Household: Maximum 35% discount
4th Student in Household: Maximum 45% discount
First round applications will be reviewed in early May, please submit applications by the last Friday in April to be considered in this first round.
*FACTS GRANT AND AID ASSESSMENT
MHCS uses FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment (FGAA) to process all applications for both the Needs-Based Financial Aid and Variable Tuition. The FGAA application can be found here. Please note that FACTS requires a $40.00 application fee to cover the cost of processing your FGAA application.
In order to complete your application, you will need to provide a W-2 and a Tax Return. There is also a section for additional comments, where you can include any additional information you would like the Financial Aid Committee to be aware of as your application is reviewed.
FACTS is an independent, third party company that conducts financial analysis to determine your family’s financial need. MHCS receives a confidential report outlining your financial situation based on the information obtained in your application and supporting tax documents.
