Tuition Assistance Information
ODCS is committed to providing an exemplary education that is accessible to all Christian families regardless of social or economic status. ODCS will work diligently with each family to help make an ODCS education financially possible.
Who is eligible for Christian school tuition assistance?
- ALL families who may require help with tuition and/or the facility fee should apply for tuition assistance.
- In order to be considered for tuition assistance, the following criteria must be met:
- Student(s) must be enrolled or re-enrolled and the application or re-enrollment fee paid.
- You must apply for either the EdChoice Traditional or EdChoice Expansion scholarship.
- You must apply for an OCEN SGO scholarship (if the timing falls within the closing for the April 15th window).
Submitting a Tuition Assistance Application
FACTS is the agency ODCS uses for processing tuition assistance applications. Using an outside agency enhances confidentiality and objectivity in the tuition assistance assessment process. Families applying for tuition assistance will need to complete an application and submit the necessary supporting documentation to FACTS. Applicants can apply online. The application requires uploading your recent tax return. If married filing separately, both tax returns are required. FACTS charges a per family application fee of $45. This application through FACTS will need to be completed and submitted no later than April 15th of the prior school year (or two weeks after acceptance if later).
FACTS will process applications and notify the ODCS Business Office with a tuition assistance recommendation. ODCS will notify the family of their award once EdChoice and OCEN SGO Scholarships are finalized. An appeal may be made for additional assistance through the ODCS Business Office if your financial circumstances change.
