Tuition & Financial Aid

University Christian High School offers a highly-academic opportunity for students at a competitive price.  Tuition for the 2023-24 school year is $9,540.00 (which includes the cost of LRU and other college classes).  UCHS is on a 12-month payment schedule that begins June 1 and ends May 31.  Multi-child discounts are available.  Tuition management is handled through TADS, providing families with 24/7 access to their accounts.

There is a $400 Registration Fee that is due upon acceptance for new students and at the time of re-enrollment for returning students.  There is a $55.00 fee for enrollment in the TADS tuition system.  There are no additional fees.

University Christian High School has a need-based financial-aid program that supports qualifying families who meet the tuition requirements.  The average tuition for a financial-aid recipient is $7,400.00  To qualify students for financial aid, we now utilize the online services of TADS to process applications.  Families can apply using this LINK.  It is required that recipients reapply for financial aid annually.  In most cases, a student's tuition payment will not change significantly from year-to-year.

Special Note:  TADS does not decide whether financial assistance will be granted; rather, it provides a need-based financial aid analysis service that includes a recommendation of what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition.  All information from TADS is kept confidential.  Results are reviewed by the UCHS Scholarship Committee.  Decisions are then based on the availability of funds.
