  • The waiver is available for up to 10 fall and/or spring terms up to 24 years of age;
  • The waiver applies to fall and spring only; the waiver can not be used for summer tuition or for January and May terms.

Effective 2/1/25 - this is a grandfathered benefit. No new students entering K-12 will be eligible.

We offer grants up to 20% towards the tuition of eligible employees' children in Christian elementary and secondary schools. Our office automatically generates forms for this benefit each academic year, but if you have a child entering a Christian school for the first time, be sure to let us know!
