Scholarships

We make the IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE.

Christian Heritage Academy proudly offers need-based tuition scholarships. The purpose of the scholarship program is to make Christian education accessible to more families, by providing a reduced rate. The tuition rate is based upon each family’s specific financial situation. Any family in need of assistance may apply. 

Factors like income, family circumstances, and the cost of living in the Lakeville area, are reviewed by a third party: Community Brands School & Student Services. Each request is then reviewed by the Commnity Brands team, who makes a recommendation to CHA. Currently, 20% of our existing families receive a reduced rate. The scholarship funds available change annually based upon our development office. Students may receive from 5% to 40% off the tuition rate.
