Tuition FAQs

What are the Requested Donation Amounts?

At Grand Rapids Christian Schools, no family pays the full cost of education. Instead, we ask parents to consider making tax-deductible donations for tuition support, endowment, educational support services, upgrades to technology, and New 2 You. Parents may elect to make this tax- deductible donation in addition to paying Full Tuition through their Smart Tuition account each year.

Requested Donation Amounts 2022 — 2023 School Year
FUND/GRANT	AMOUNT Per student
Eagles Fund	$1,250
Capital	$680
Foundation	$440
New 2 You*	$400
TOTAL REQUESTED DONATION*	$2,770

*New 2 You is our upscale resale store that has raised millions of dollars to reduce tuition costs for students attending Grand Rapids Christian Schools.

Both full and variable tuition rates for students in grades K-12 have already been reduced by this year's per student New 2 You Grant. In return, parents of students in grades K-12 are asked to volunteer at New 2 You for at least one three-hour shift per school year, per family.

Parents who elect to give the requested donation or make an other donation of $400 per student designated for New 2 You on their Continuous Enrollment Contract may opt out of volunteering at New 2 You.
