Tuition & Aid

Making Christian Education Accessible for Your Family

We know that choosing a Christian education is both an exciting opportunity and a financial commitment. But the truth is, a decision about your child’s education is about more than just numbers. It’s about the values they’ll carry, the faith that will shape them, and the lifelong foundation they’ll build.

Tuition represents a real investment, but there are more resources available than many families realize. From state programs to school-based grants and flexible payment options, we’re committed to helping ensure finances don't prevent your family from experiencing a Christ-centered education at Oskaloosa Christian.

Financial Assistance Programs

We offer multiple pathways to make Christian education affordable:

Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs)

  • Who qualifies? All Iowa families, regardless of income
  • What's covered? Tuition, fees, and other qualified educational expenses
  • How to apply: Applications typically open in spring through the Odyssey Portal (Students First ESAs). Families must reapply annually.

Legacy of Grace STO Grants

  • What it is: Need-based scholarships through Iowa's Legacy of Grace program
  • How it works: Donors contribute in exchange for state tax credits, and these funds go to qualifying families

School-Based Tuition Assistance

  • What it is: A fund managed by our Board of Trustees for families with demonstrated financial need
  • How to apply: Submit a FACTS Grant & Aid application for confidential review
  • How decisions are made: Awards based on financial need, available funds, and Finance Committee review

Payment Plans

  • What it is: Flexible monthly payment options to help families spread tuition costs throughout the year.
