FAQs

a

What is Variable Tuition?

Variable Tuition is a need-based tuition assistance program similar to those used by many private schools, colleges, and universities. This program allows families to apply for reduced tuition that is right for their families’ financial situation. This makes a BCA education affordable to many qualified students who could not otherwise join our school community.

a

How Does Variable Tuition Work?

Any family (current or new) of a kindergarten through twelfth-grade student may apply for Variable Tuition if they are concerned about affording the full tuition rate at Bradford Christian Academy and they think they may qualify for the program. Many factors are considered when determining the tuition amount a family is able to pay, including income, assets, unusual expenses, and the size of the family. The resources available for the family in a given year must also be considered in light of the Variable Tuition awards available at BCA.
An application for Variable Tuition does not affect the admission process. Regardless of financial need, parents should initiate the admission process as early as possible. Families may apply for Variable Tuition only after they have applied for admission to the school.
It is not possible for a family or the school to estimate the tuition level for which a family qualifies without the completion of a Variable Tuition application. Applications are submitted directly to FACTS, a third-party agency. FACTS evaluates the application based on criteria set by the school and makes a recommendation to the school’s Variable Tuition team. Families are notified of the tuition level for which they qualify from the school’s financial office.
Unfortunately, the school is not able to provide Variable Tuition to every deserving student. We work within the available resources to make the school accessible to as many students and families as possible.

a

Do I need to apply to Bradford Christian Academy to receive confirmation of my Variable Tuition?

Yes.

a

Upon completion of my Variable Tuition application, when will I receive confirmation of my Variable Tuition?

Typically within 2 weeks of providing all the required information to our confidential third-party service.

a

What is the cost to apply for Variable Tuition?

FACTS charges a fee of $41 to process your Variable Tuition Application.

a

Should every new Bradford Christian Academy family submit an application for Variable Tuition?

No. Only families who feel that they may not able to pay the top range of the Variable Tuition should submit an application.

a

Do I need to apply for Variable Tuition every year?

Yes. A new application must be submitted every year.

a

If I do not qualify for the program this year, can I apply again next year?

Yes. A family that does not qualify is welcome to reapply the following year.

a

Do I need to apply for admission separately from applying for Variable Tuition?

Yes. For new students, application to BCA and application for Variable Tuition are two separate processes. However, new families may complete both application processes simultaneously.

a

Will applying for Variable Tuition hurt my student’s chance of being admitted to the school?

No. Admission applications and Variable Tuition applications are evaluated separately, and an application for Variable Tuition has no bearing on the admission process.

a

What kind of economic situation is typical of a family who qualifies for Variable Tuition?

A wide range of families with a variety of circumstances qualify for the program, from those who are able to pay close to the top of the range of Variable Tuition to those who are at the entry level of the range. Many factors are evaluated, including income, assets, unusual expenses, and the size of the family.

a

Are some families awarded full tuition?

No. Every family is required to make a financial investment in their child’s education. Our commitment to providing Variable Tuition means that we are sharing in that investment with you.

a

Are all admitted students offered Variable Tuition if the family qualifies?

No. Unfortunately, the school does not have the ability to offer Variable Tuition to every student who qualifies for both admission and Variable Tuition. A student may be admitted to the school but placed on a waiting list for Variable Tuition. It is recommended that families apply for Variable Tuition as early as possible.

a

Will Variable Tuition lead to larger classes?

No. Bradford Christian Academy has established maximum class sizes that cannot be surpassed. Within those limits, we will continue to accept qualified, mission-appropriate students.

a

I’m currently receiving a scholarship. How does this work for Variable Tuition?

BCA offers several merit-based scholarship programs that may further reduce your family’s costs. For information about our merit scholarships, please visit: bradfordchristianacademy.org/scholarships.

a

I see that the Variable Tuition ranges don’t include a “multi-student discount.” Is there a discount for enrolled siblings?

Multiple students are one of the key factors in determining Variable Tuition. One of the important questions asked on the confidential Variable Tuition application relates to family size and number of students enrolled at BCA.
