Voucher Program
Faith Christian School is participating in the Indiana state Choice Scholarship ("voucher") program and the Schoarship Tax Credit (or Scholarship Granting Organization, SGO) scholarship program.
Who Qualifies?
The voucher program applies to students entering 2nd grade or higher who attended public school the previous two semesters. The SGO program could help students entering Faith Christian School in kindergarten or first grade. Household income guidelines, based on the free-and-reduced lunch program income levels, determine if a student qualifies for a voucher or SGO scholarship, and for how much.
The voucher program is explained further at the Indiana Department of Education website at http://www.doe.in.gov/schoolchoice. The SGO scholarship program is explained further here.
How It Works
Once a student has been accepted for enrollment at Faith Christian School, the voucher application would be submitted by the school office through a secure Indiana Department of Education website. A parent must be present at the school office when the voucher application is submitted. Income verification information must supplied to apply for either program. The Choice Scholarship law also requires that a random lottery be held at each participating school in the case that, by a certain date, the number of applications for Choice Scholarships exceeds the number of seats available at FCS to Choice Scholarship students. The FCS Lottery Date for the 2012-13 school year, if needed, will be April 10, 2012. Please read this document for more information about the lottery process at Faith Christian School.
Get Started Today
The number of scholarships and the time to get involved in these programs are both limited. If you desire a Christ-centered education for your child and want to know if the new state scholarship programs could help, please contact the school office at 765-447-2727. We will arrange to meet with you and your child about FCS, the enrollment process, and how the scholarship programs might apply in your situation.
