An SFC education is more affordable than you think.

Affording an SFC education

We want every qualified, mission-appropriate student to be given the opportunity to attend SFC… but we know that for many families, the investment can be a challenge. Families may be awarded tuition assistance on the basis of a demonstrated financial need in grades K-12. Our goal is to make a Christian education accessible to many.

SFC uses an independent, third-party assessor, Financial Aid For School Tuition (FAST), to determine tuition awards. Tuition assistance awards are grants — a gift to your family — not a loan that needs to be repaid.

All inquiries are kept confidential. Families new to SFC should apply for admission and tuition assistance concurrently. Admissions and tuition assistance processes are distinct and separate. Tuition assistance has no bearing on the Admission Committee’s deliberations and its assessment of an applicant’s potential as a Santa Fe Christian student. SFC is not accepting international student applications. SFC subscribes to the philosophy of needs-based tuition assistance as opposed to merit-based scholarships. Consequently, no awards are made solely on the basis of academic, athletic, or artistic ability. To receive tuition assistance, a student’s family must demonstrate financial need.

A non-refundable registration fee of a $500 and a $2,000 tuition deposit is due when an enrollment contract is submitted. Tuition can be paid monthly, semi-annually, or annually.

“We have 4 children at SFC. After our son was awarded the Eagle Scholarship in 2013, he would tell his sisters how much he loved SFC and that the girls needed to be at school with him. We knew it would be a huge stretch to make that happen. We weren’t sure we’d qualify, but we applied for financial aid and now we’re all in! We are blown away by the way God has provided for our kids to be at Santa Fe Christian and thrive!”

— SFC Mom

“Our son expressed interest in attending Santa Fe Christian. We had heard from friends about SFC’s quality, Christian education and the family atmosphere. Coming from a public-school system, we assumed that tuition would be a barrier to us. Our only option was tuition assistance. Though the process seemed daunting, it was actually quite simple. I am happy to say that thanks to tuition assistance, SFC is now a home for our son. He couldn’t be happier! I would encourage families who are considering SFC to apply for tuition assistance. It may be possible for you too!”

— SFC Parents

“We knew we wanted our high school son to attend SFC and that we could not afford it. In faith, we decided to begin the application process anyway. To our surprise, we learned that the school offered tuition assistance. We applied and immediately the cost of tuition was within reach for our family. We now have two kids in the Upper School, both receiving assistance. My wife and I are beyond grateful to have our kids at SFC and it would not be possible without tuition assistance!”

— SFC Dad

“We thought the Santa Fe Christian education might be financially out of our reach for our family. We applied for financial assistance in hope to send just our incoming freshman daughter. The generous financial aid allowed us to not only send our daughter but our two younger sons as well. As we approach our sixth year at SFC the education was not only affordable for our family but priceless.”

— SFC Mom

“We thought the financial responsibility of sending our children to a private Christian school put SFC out of reach. However, we were surprised and delighted to learn assistance is available. Instead of automatically ruling it out, we’d encourage prospective parents to take the first step toward SFC and see if God opens the door.”
