We understand that Christian education is an investment, so Central Christian School is excited to offer resources to assist families in affording this great investment.
CCS Tuition Scholarship
FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment will be conducting financial need analysis for Central Christian School for each school year.
Families applying for financial aid must complete an application and submit the necessary supporting documentation to FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. Tuition assistance requests are reviewed during May, June, and July before each school year begins. The application period for the 2022-2023 school year is open, and applications are being accepted. Applicants can apply online by clicking the FACTS link at FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment.
Tuition assistance is not available for preschool and child care center fees since assistance is available to qualifying families through the Kansas Department of Children and Families (formerly SRS). Preschool and child care students are not eligible for FACTS Grant and Aid awards from the school.
There is a $35 processing fee payable to FACTS for the family financial aid application. After an online application has been completed, the following information will need to be sent to FACTS to complete the financial assistance application process:
- Copies of your most recent federal income tax forms including all supporting tax schedules
- Copies of supporting documentation for Social Security income, child support, TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)/welfare, SNAP/food stamps, and workers compensation.
All supporting documentation can be uploaded in pdf format. Documentation can also be faxed to FACTS at 866-315-9264 or mailed to the address below. Please be sure to include the applicant ID on all faxed or mailed correspondence.

It is the heartfelt desire of the Central Christian School Board of Trustees and Administration to honor and recognize the esteemed, biblical role pastors play in ministering to and serving the body of Christ. Therefore, the school offers full-time pastors a tuition discount for their children.
