TUITION & AID

A private Christian education is a significant financial investment. At BCS, we are committed to offering an excellent educational experience at an affordable cost. Our desire is for families to access the maximum amount of financial assistance available, based on need, through scholarships, discounts, and financial aid. For all BCS families, we encourage education savings plans and participation in RaiseRight fundraising to assist with expenses. If additional financial funding or guidance is needed, please reach out to us!

TYPES OF AID

Indiana Choice Scholarship Program

Scholarships range from $5,700-$6,700 per student, per year. There are a several tracks by which families can qualify for this aid in addition to household income guidelines. More information can be found at the Indiana Department of Education website.

Certified Scholarship Granting Organizations provide scholarships to eligible students using funding from private donations that are eligible for a tax credit. These funds help families cover remaining tuition that the Choice Scholarship may not cover. SGO scholarships are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
