Individual awards made for tuition assistance varies for each family, and is made based on a family's financial situation. Other factors may apply such as space in the class, siblings attending, etc.
All applicants must complete the School and Student Service for Financial Aid form, the Assistance and Questionnaire form, and submit a copy of their previous years' IRS 1040 form to the Tuition Assistance Committee.

Annual Giving and Other Financial Support

Tuition covers operating costs at PCCA, but significant program improvements require additional funds. The Beacon Foundation, a 501(c)(3) exists to enhance the efforts of Pine Castle Christian Academy and Pine Castle United Methodist Church. Gifts made to The Beacon Foundation may be designated for specific or general use at PCCA. The Foundation encourages all members of the school community--parents, alumni, and friends--to join with them in the effort to assure the School's continued position of leadership through annual, capital, and planned gifts that adequately reflect individual interest and ability.
