Tax Credit Scholarships
Heritage Christian School partners with Sagamore Institute for the Education Choice Scholarship Program (also known as “SGO”). These scholarships are funded through private donations that are designated for Heritage Christian School students. Applicant students must be in Pre-K through grade 12 and their families must meet the income requirement. Eligible families may receive a minimum $500 scholarship (per enrolled student) toward their HCS tuition.
The Tax Credit Scholarship is one of several scholarships available to Heritage students through the FACTS application process. Families who fill out the FACTS application will be presented with all qualifying scholarship and financial assistance options - including the Tax Credit Scholarship.
