Financial Assistance at The King’s Academy is partially funded by the proceeds from the M. Nelson Loveland Student Scholarship Endowment, the James and Annie Erneston Student Scholarship Endowment and the Raese Family Student Scholarship Endowment.
Financial assistance is awarded for those families who demonstrate financial need as evaluated by Independent School Management's FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition) program.
The King’s Academy seeks to assist families in affording a quality Christian education to the greatest extent possible. In seeking financial assistance, families should follow the following steps:
- Complete full application for admission to The King’s Academy and be formally accepted.
- Complete the application for Financial Assistance on-line.

TKA has four Award Notification dates, March 15, April 15, May 15 and June 15. Your award date will be based on the date TKA receives your assessment report back from FAST (please see the TKA Award Notification schedule below).
The King's Academy will then make an award an award based on availability of financial assistance funds. Financial need is determined by taking into account many factors including income, net worth, expenses, family size, and the number of children attending tuition charging schools.
TKA Award Notifications will be sent based on the following schedule:

| March 1 | March 15 |

***An assessment report must be received from FAST by June 1 to be considered for a financial assistance award. Awards are not guaranteed for FAST assessments received after June 1.
Despite a strong commitment to our financial assistance program, each year the number of students who qualify for financial assistance is more than we can fully support. TKA seeks to evenly distribute financial assistance to all those who show a need.
