Grants

Excel Grants

 Excel offers three types of grants for a 25% tuition reduction: 

Excel Leadership Grant

Children of all full-time ministers and lead pastors.

Community Service Grant

Children of all public safety and first responders.

Protective Forces Grant

Children of all military duty personnel (active and non-active).

Financial Assistance

Need-based financial aid: Excel subscribes to a branch of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) called the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) to determine a family’s ability to contribute to educational expenses. SSS uses the Parent’s Financial Statement to help make a determination of a family’s need. The Parent’s Financial Statement collects information such as family size, total income, savings, investments, indebtedness, medical and dental expenses, any unusual expenses, and other assets such as home equity. Families who demonstrate a need may be provided with a grant to lower the amount they must pay to Excel. These grants offset tuition costs for one year. They do not need to be repaid. The money comes directly from Excel’s financial aid budget. Grant amounts may vary considerably as each family’s demonstrated need varies from family to family. Grant amounts are for one year only. Families must re-apply for financial aid grants each year. Excel’s financial aid budget is limited. Many families require assistance beyond what we can offer through the need-based financial aid.

Tuition and Fees

Excel offers an in-house, monthly payment plan with no interest. The tuition amounts due, minus any financial aid grant awarded, is divided evenly over a twelve-month period.
