Admissions
The admissions process has three steps:

Tuition
2021-2022 Tuition & Grant Programs
NCCS is committed to working with our families to make sure that Christian education is accessible for their children; but ultimately, financing a Christian education is each family’s responsibility. Our tuition grant and aid program is based on a family’s financial position and available scholarship funds which are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. NCCS may award up to 50% of a family’s tuition costs.
To see if you qualify for a tuition grant, please complete an application online through FACTS at www.factstuitionaid.com. There will be a fee charged by FACTS to process this application. Once submitted, you will be notified of any awarded grant and aid within two weeks. Applications for the 2021-2022 school year will open on April 15, 2021.

Fundraising Expectation
Tuition payments alone do not cover the annual expenses of NCCS. In order to keep tuition low, we expect school families to participate in school-wide fundraisers. Participation can take many forms based on the skills and time-availability of families. But by working together, we can meet our financial goals, grow relationally, and support the lives that are changed through NCCS. For more information on opportunities to help meet the school’s financial needs, please call the school office at 517-323-8903.
New Student Registration
Registration begins March 15, 2021 for K4 & K5 students and April 5, 2021 for new 1st-12th grade students.
Tuition Payment Options
- Full tuition payments are due in the School office by June 1, 2021 (or within 2 weeks of acceptance if school has not begun) in order to receive a 3% discount. If school has begun, full tuition payment is due upon enrollment to qualify for a 3% discount.
- Monthly payments are required through the FACTS automatic payment plan. Tuition payments are withdrawn on the 20th of the month. Families enrolled before June 10 begin payments on June 20. Families enrolled after June 10 are required to pay one tuition payment within two weeks after registration. Regardless of your enrollment date, your last payment will be withdrawn on May 20, 2022. Thus, returning and new families enrolled before June 10 are on a 12-month payment plan. Questions regarding this plan should be directed to the school’s finance office at accounting@nccswarriors.org.
Tuition Credit Programs
We are pleased to share several exciting and proven ways to receive credit on next year’s tuition. You may begin your participation at any time.
Please contact the individual Program Coordinators if you have specific questions or need additional information.
Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)
Volunteer Program Coordinator: Danielle Cornelius: tapnccs@gmail.com.
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 with 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 a less than 1% fee that NCCS uses to maintain the program). This is the same successful program that many other Christian schools use and is sometimes referred to as TRIP or SCRIP. TAP is generally not available during the summer months.
