FINANCIAL AID:

Summit desires to continue to be affordable to Christian families in the Pacific Northwest. We never want to turn any family away because of finances alone.

We seek to partner with families in finding sources of funds for their children’s Christian education: 529 funds, grandparents, grants, scholarships, your local church, etc. Summit does not have an endowment or scholarship fund. Financial aid funds are provided from our general budget and reduce the funds available for other purposes. We are committed to giving sacrificially for this purpose.

Families who wish to apply for financial aid should complete the FACTS financial aid application and pay the FACTS $40 application fee. Applications are reviewed by Summit’s financial aid committee, which makes a determination for each family. The target of the financial aid committee is to limit the cost of tuition to roughly 15% of a family’s income depending on their total financial situation.

In 2023-24 Summit issued over $400,000 in financial aid with an average award of almost $16,000 per family. We are thrilled to be able to count ministry families, foster families, large families, and families of all economic situations among our community.

For the 2025-26 school year, the financial aid application deadline for returning families is January 31, 2025. After review by the financial aid committee, awarded amounts will be communicated to families by February 15. Families will have until March 1 to accept their aid package.

New families must apply for financial aid within 10 days of receiving their acceptance letter.
