The Alumni Tuition Grant is a key part of our lasting commitment to make a GAC education in financial reach for all alumni families.
The Legacy Spartan community at GAC has been growing at a rapid pace! Over the years, countless alumni have shared their desires as well as their financial limitations for their children attending GAC. We don't want economics to be an obstacle for any missionally-aligned family to be here, and God has blessed us with the opportunity to help fill this gap.
This program began with a generous gift in celebration of GAC's 50th birthday, and its impact has continued to grow! Funding for the Alumni Tuition Grant has been significantly expanded to offer an automatic minimum 25% off of tuition* for ages infant-2nd grade (previously only infant-K2), with a continuing customized tuition grant for 3rd-12th grade.*Note: GAC alumni may qualify for greater than 25% off tuition based on need through the Alumni Tuition Grant application.
GAC is dedicated to advocating for alumni families in the admissions process, so please do not hesitate to reach out with questions. Contact Mary Helen Bryant for more information about our Alumni Grant Program or schedule a visit to learn more.

"It is our mission at GAC to help each child grow as Jesus did, in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:52) Spiritual life at GAC is filled with students experiencing God in exciting and tangible ways: in the classroom, chapel, service opportunities, missions (both local and abroad), and through meaningful relational connections. We believe every student's faith is unique and their influence matters for the kingdom of God."
