TUITION and FEES (2010 - 2011)

THREE POSSIBLE PAYMENT SCHEDULES

• Full payment with a 5% discount when paid on or before July 10th.
• 10 monthly installments with the first installment due on or before July 10th.*
• 12 monthly installments with the first installment due on or before June 10th.*

*A one time annual fee of $38.00 per family for Smart Tuition services will be charged by Smart Tuition with the first month’s tuition.

Payment is due on the 10th of each month.  Smart Tuition charges a $20.00 late fee for tuition paid after the 10th.  PCS will charge a 5% monthly late fee to all other outstanding debt (including but not limited to matriculation and outstanding lunch accounts).

DISCOUNTS:
There will be a tuition reduction of 10% for the second child attending and 20% for the third child attending.  The fourth child and subsequent siblings will receive a 30% discount.  Tuition discounts apply only to children attending simultaneously and only to immediate family members.  A child under legal guardianship of a family is considered immediate family, and therefore eligible for any tuition discounts.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:
A limited number of financial scholarships are available through the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program and also through PCS. 

GEORGIA GOAL SCHOLARSHIP 
In 2008, Georgia passed a law that permits taxpayers to take a Georgia state income tax credit for amounts contributed to qualified student scholarship organizations (SSOs).  The contributions must be used to provide scholarships to students who desire to transfer from public to a private school or who are eligible to enter pre-K4 or kindergarten at a private school.  Providence Christian School is partnering with the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program to award scholarships to families with students who wish to enroll in PCS.  

For complete information about the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program visit the GOAL website at http://www.goalscholarship.org

PCS SCHOLARSHIP
A limited number of financial scholarships are available through Providence for  students needing financial assistance but who do not qualify for GA GOAL.  An application packet is available under “Downloads” on this website.  

MATRICULATION FEE:
Matriculation fees are due May 10th for each student.  Payment of this fee secures your enrollment.  Tuition discounts do not apply to matriculation or other fees.  PCS will waive the enrollment/ re-enrollment fee for current families paying matriculation by March 1.

APPLICATION FEE:

• New families:  A $50.00 application fee for each new family.  
• Current families:  A $25.00 application fee per new student.

ENROLLMENT and RE-ENROLLMENT FEES:

• New families:  A one time enrollment fee of $250.00 per family is due upon acceptance.

PCS will not refund tuition or fees once payment has been received.
