Financial Aid

After your child has been accepted to Desert Christian, you may wish to apply for financial assistance. The process for seeking a scholarship has been refined over the years, and we hope that you will find it both straightforward and relatively painless.

The process is designed to work in conjunction with procedures related to the administration of Arizona’s Tuition Tax Credits. Furthermore, in the interest of confidentiality, objectivity and efficiency, the Scholarship Committee has decided that both families and the school would be better served if an independent assessment firm determined a family’s financial need, rather than an internal sub-committee.

To apply for financial assistance, simply:

  • Complete a short printable form provided by The Institute For Better Education (IBE) and submit it to the high school, middle school, or elementary school, as appropriate, or you may obtain a hard copy from IBE or any Desert Christian School office. (Please retain a completed copy for your records.) Another way to obtain a copy of the scholarship application is to visit IBE's website.
  • Should you have questions about or require assistance with any aspect of the scholarship application process, please contact the school – we’re here to help you.
