Tuition

Tuition should never be considered an expense, but rather an investment in the life and destiny of each child. We recognize that tuition is a major financial commitment for all families, and the decision to provide quality Christian education should not be made lightly. NCCS is committed to working with our families to make sure that Christian education is affordable for their children; but ultimately, financing a Christian education is a family’s responsibility. Annual tuition scholarships may be available for families who are committed to Christian education but are in need of temporary financial assistance to attend or continue to attend NCCS. To see if you may qualify for a tuition grant, please complete an application online through The Facts Management Company at www.factstuitionaid.com. There is a $25 fee separate from the application fee.  Based on documented need and available funds, scholarships may be granted for up to 50% of a family’s tuition bill.

 Annual All-Inclusive Tuition

Tuition rates include all required fees such as registration, PE, fine arts, music, science labs, books, planners, class fees, field trips, Middle School and High School retreats, building fees, etc.

• Additional fees will apply to International Students attending NCCS.
• NCCC tithing members, please see the church business office for your tuition credit.
• If you choose not to take the 2^nd and 3^rd child discount, we will issue you a tax-deductible receipt for the discounted amount.

Fundraising Requirement
In addition to tuition, each family will be given a variety of opportunities to fulfill a $500 fundraising requirement per family/per year.  Those families who choose not to participate in the fundraisers can write a check or add the amount to their tuition payment.  If the fundraising requirement is not met or paid in full by the last day of the school year, you will receive a bill for the balance.

New Student Registration
Registration begins Monday, April 9, 2012.  Currently enrolled students are given first opportunity to re-enroll.

A $200 non-refundable deposit per family is required at the time of registration.

• The $200 non-refundable deposit will be applied to your 2012-13 tuition if ALL registration materials are completed and returned to the school office within 2 weeks of acceptance.
• The $200 non-refundable deposit will not be applied to your 2012-13 tuition if your registration materials are incomplete or are received more than 2 weeks after acceptance.

Tuition Credit Programs

We are pleased to introduce several exciting and proven ways to receive credit on next year’s tuition. You may begin your participation at any time.

Our Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) enables you to buy gift certificates to many of your favorite restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations and retail stores through www.shopwithscrip.com. Payment is made online through Presto Pay. These gift certificates have been purchased from more than 125 retailers at discounts ranging from 2-20%. You will be able to purchase the gift certificates at face value and the amount of the retailer’s discount is passed on to you in the form of a tuition credit (minus 1% which NCCS will retain to maintain this program). This is the same successful program that many other Christian schools use and is sometimes referred to as TRIP or SCRIP.

We also participate in the Meijer Community Rewards Program (MCR). By simply scanning your Meijer Rewards Card, you can accumulate significant credit towards your next year’s tuition. Additional information and sign-up forms are available at your local Meijer store, or online at www.meijer.com/rewards. The school code for New Covenant Christian School is 765765.

Receive a referral reward if a new K-11 family you refer to NCCS subsequently enrolls a full-time student who pays full tuition and completes one full school year.  You will receive a $300 reward in Covenant Cash to be used toward your tuition the following year.

Please contact the school office at 517.323.8903 or nccsoffice@nccswarriors.org if you would like additional information on any of these programs.
