TUITION ASSISTANCE AND FINANCIAL AID
Financing the cost of Christian education may be the most important investment you’ll ever make for your child’s future. That’s why Northern Michigan Christian School strives to make a Christ-centered education affordable for anyone who chooses to enroll. NMCS has established many programs to assist parents in making Christian education a reality for their children.
TRIP (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program)
TRIP allows you to raise tuition funds through your regular shopping habits. You can earn tuition credit just from buying products and services you routinely use—groceries, clothing, furniture, car care, restaurants, hotels, airfare, etc. Friends, neighbors, and family members can participate to multiply your tuition earnings! For more information, contact Tasha VanHaitsma in the TRIP office (231-825-2492) by email. Also, be sure to check out the TRIP website: www.shopwithscrip.com
