Tuition Assistance

General Information

Investing in your child's education at the Rock Academy can be one of the most important investments parents make for their child. However, this can also create a significant financial burden for some families.

The Rock Academy wishes to promote access to students who desire a Christ-centered, excellent education who simultaneously aspire to give back to the Academy scholastically, socially, and through growth in their God-given gifts and abilities.

Therefore, an additional, limited amount of tuition assistance is made available through the generosity of those who contribute to the Tuition Assistance and Staff Development Fund.  Students who are admitted and whose families apply for financial assistance may qualify for a reduction in tuition.  (Tuition assistance is not available from the Academy for preschool children.)

How to Apply

You must first apply to the Rock Academy for admissions in order for your tuition assistance request to be considered.  Once you have done so, you may apply for tuition assistance online at FACTS Grant and Aid. Please be sure to comply with the April 15th deadline in submitting all required documents as funds are limited.  While you may still apply for aid after this date, please be advised that most awards will have already been granted, and any additional aid will be awarded on a funds available basis only.

Facts about Tuition Assistance

• Tuition assistance is not a scholarship, but rather tuition reduction based on family financial need.
• Tuition assistance is strictly need based. The Rock Academy uses the financial analysis of FACTS Grant and Aid, an unbiased third party, to determine need. Facts Grant and Aid requires parents to complete an online or paper analysis statement annually.
• All financial information is held in complete confidence.
• All supporting documents must be completed and submitted to FACTS before any application will be reviewed.
• Families who receive tuition assistance need to re-apply each year, and their applications are re-evaluated based on the family's continued need, while yearly awards are dispersed based on availability of tuition assistance funds.
• Students must maintain at least a 2.0 G.P.A. with no "U" in order to keep one's tuition assistance . Moreover, the overall performance of the student at the Rock Academy will be taken into account as assistance is reconsidered for the following year.
• The amount of awards varies according to the financial resources of each family. However, the Rock Academy does not award more than half of the tuition to any student. While the Rock Academy tries to provide as much assistance as possible, the school is limited in its tuition assistance resources. We ask that you pray for the Lord's continued provision for your family according to His riches in glory.
• Tuition assistance only applies to a portion of the tuition. Tuition assistance does not cover registration, book/activity fee, uniforms, or any other additional fee items.
