Refund Policy

McKinney Christian Academy has financial and contractual arrangements with faculty, staff, vendors, etc., which are made before the beginning of each school year. These obligations and commitments require MCA to MANDATE that all enrolling families commit financially for the entire school year.

In order for MCA to meet its contractual obligations to faculty, staff, and others, we do not offer a refund on any tuition and fees for any reason including but not limited to: job relocation, change in parents' decision for student to attend, etc. If for any reason an enrolled student fails to attend or to continue in attendance at MCA for the contracted school year, 100% of the tuition is still due and will be paid in full.

Financial Aid

Parents must apply annually for the next school year. Financial aid is awarded annually according to the availability of funds and in response to financial need. One may apply for financial aid on-line at www.factstuitionaid.com as early as December for the upcoming school year. Applications are also available from the business office, as well as specific deadlines for submission.
