Tuition Assistance

Southfield Christian School provides and administers a tuition assistance program designed to provide assistance to families for meeting tuition costs. While the program is not intended to provide prolonged financial aid or full scholarships, it does provide assistance for those families that may experience short-term financial need.

This program is the result of generous gifts from individuals who realize the importance of helping those in need and have a heart for the educational environment and experience SCS offers. If you are interested in receiving further information about the program or would like to make a contribution to the fund, please contact the Business Office at (248) 357-3660 ext. 248.

Program Guidelines

• Assistance is available to families that have completed the application process and qualify and meet financial need requirements.
• Assistance must be requested each year, but will not be granted for more than two consecutive years. Consideration for an extension of assistance at a reduced rate will be given to full-time Christian workers, missionaries, or families with severe extenuating circumstances. Extension of the two-year limit will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
• Families awarded assistance for two years must wait two years before re-applying for additional assistance.
• The maximum amount granted to a family in any school year will be one-half of the total tuition cost. Amounts granted each year are based on an independent assessment of financial need (from SSS), the number of qualified applicants, and monies available in the school's Slavin Scholarship Fund (a fund specifically established to assist families with tuition costs).
• The academic standing, character, and behavior of the student will be a factor in considering assistance applications.
• Families receiving assistance must keep their tuition accounts current. If not, the SCS Finance Committee reserves the right to discontinue the monthly assistance payments to the family's tuition account.

Slavin Scholarship Fund

Dr. George Slavin was called to pastor Highland Park Baptist Church in 1971 and served until his death in March of 1979. In addition to his pastoring responsibilities, he had a special interest in Christian education and was a great supporter of Southfield Christian School.
