Christian Educational Assistance
Application for Christian Education Assistance
Our church offers financial assistance that helps off-set tuition cost to those who choose to send their children to a Christian school.
We currently use a third-party organization called FACTS to help us to assess the financial need our families may have for tuition.
If you are a Madison family that will be requesting tuition assistance from Madison Church for the 2023-2024 school year, this information is intended to guide your family through the completion of the FACTS application process. (Please remember that the fund is for Kindergarten – 12th tuition and does not include preschool tuition for aid.) Your completed FACTS application will help the Madison Christian Education Committee in determining the amount of tuition assistance we may commit to support your family.
Application Timeline: Winter 2023 / Spring 2024
Families with children in K – 12th grade in 2023-2024 requesting assistance from the church must have their applications submitted to FACTS. After applying, Samson Okoh needs to verify submission of your application. To do so, please send an email verifying that you’ve completed the process to sokoh49@hotmail.com before the due date.
Madison Church Christian Education Committee notifies families that applied to FACTS of the level of financial support that the church will pledge for 2023-2024.
FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment will again be conducting the application process for our church for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. Families applying for tuition assistance from Madison Church will need to complete the following steps:
1.

It is VERY important that you select/add our church AND your kid’s school name so that we get the information routed directly to Madison Church AND to your kid’s school. This will ensure that the application can be appropriately processed through the Madison Church Christian Education Committee.
