Financial Assistance<\/u><\/span><\/h5>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Imparting Wisdom Christian Academy is a faith-based institution and is not funded by the state.\u00a0 We recognize that sometimes the cost of attendance is difficult for some families to afford.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Families in full-time ministry should ask about our minister’s discount.\u00a0 Families enrolling three or more children may also qualify for a tuition discount.<\/span><\/p>

IWCA raises funds through donations and fundraisers to provide financial assistance, helping to bridge the gap between the cost of an IWCA education and what the family can afford to pay.\u00a0 Scholarship funds are limited.\u00a0 If funds are available, and the family meets the required financial criteria, most scholarship award amounts will range from 25% – 75% of the total cost of attendance, depending on individual need.<\/span><\/p>

Scholarships are offered on a yearly basis and are based on continued demonstrated need and availability of funds.\u00a0 Students must first follow the admissions procedures and be accepted for enrollment before any scholarship can be offered.\u00a0 If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please follow the process below:

Affording Private Education<\/u><\/span><\/h5>
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>

1. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Pray and seek God\u2019s direction. Read your Bible. Learn what Scripture says about teaching and training children.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

2. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Make a financial plan for your family\u2019s expenses. \u00a0Include the cost of private school attendance in your budget. \u00a0Use your budget to help establish your priorities. This may mean cutting some unnecessary expenses and tightening spending in some areas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

3. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In what areas can you cut expenses? \u00a0Here are a few ideas: \u00a0reducing cable television\/satellite services, choosing used\/pre-owned instead of new items, driving a cheaper vehicle, less expensive vacations and trips, cancel subscriptions, make a grocery list in advance, buy generic\/store brands, clip coupons, eat leftovers for lunch, research to find the best deals, etc\u2026<\/span><\/p>

4. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Brainstorm ways you could bring in additional income. \u00a0Here are some general ideas: \u00a0<\/span>babysitting; pet sitting; clean out closets and have a yard sale; use any skills you already possess to offer freelance services in writing, photography, meal services, etc\u2026<\/span><\/p>

5. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Other options: \u00a0Ask family members to help cover a portion the tuition cost. \u00a0Talk with your pastor about having your church sponsor a scholarship for your child. \u00a0Set up a crowd-funding campaign.<\/span><\/p>

6. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Talk with the admissions department of the school. Ask them about what types of financial assistance and scholarships they may have to offer. \u00a0Many schools have scholarships available for qualifying students. \u00a0Private schools, in many instances, offer pay in-full, pastor\/evangelist family, and multi-student discounts.<\/span>
