Financial Aid
Financial Aid Scholarship Fund
Keswick Christian School desires to make Christian education affordable for all mission-appropriate families. To aid families who might not be able to afford Christian education, Keswick has established a Financial Aid Scholarship Fund. The money for this Financial Aid is provided by the school general fund and donations to the Acorn Fund.
To this end, Keswick partners with Family Financial Needs Assessment (FFNA) to determine which families qualify for aid and the amount of aid awarded. FFNA receives all of the financial information from the family and makes an impartial and confidential recommendation to the school for aid. Application forms are available at the school in the business office or by visiting the FFNA website, www.ffna1.com. (Our school ID number is 1090.)
Step Up For Students Scholarships
Financial aid is available to qualified families through the corporate-funded Step Up For Students program. For more information about this fund, please visit www.stepupforstudents.org, or call toll free 866-753-0985.
Local Pastors’ Discount
Keswick offers a generous pastor discount for local, full-time pastors. Each year pastors are asked to provide a letter from their church to verify that they are employed as a full-time pastor by the church.
VPK
This state-run program provides approximately $2,500 per year for children in Preschool 4 attending 5 days a week, whether full day or half day. The parent is responsible for applying through Coordinated Child Care. The website is www.childcarepinellas.org. The parent is responsible for any amount due over and above what VPK pays.
McKay Scholarship
This state-wide program provides financial assistance for parents of students with special needs. Keswick administrators will evaluate the needs of each student to determine if the school has the ability to meet those needs. More information is available at www.floridaschoolchoice.org.
