Financial Assistance Programs
We understand that private Christ-centered education requires not only a commitment to your child’s successful learning experience but a financial investment as well. We are committed to partnering with you on this journey by offering several financial assistance programs.
1. Family Referral Program
At Riverside Christian School we are very thankful for all of our students and their families. We also believe that our best advertisers are families just like yours; families who have great experiences to share with others who may be interested in the same quality, Christ-centered education for their children. That is why we offer our Family Referral Program; To say thank you for sharing our school with future RCS families and for helping to bring more children to Jesus!
For each new family you refer, you will earn a $300 tuition credit! Payable after the new student completes their 6th month at RCS.
Let’s go out and spread the word on how Riverside is showing extreme love through limitless acceptance, and grow in numbers and in Jesus!

Eligibility Requirements
- Church membership will have been established during the eighteen-month period immediately preceding school enrollment.
- Benefits will apply to students who are initially enrolled in a Seventh-day Adventist school within the 18-month period.
4. Riverside School Assistance
Riverside Christian School believes that no student who desires a Christ-Centered education should be denied that opportunity on a financial basis. We believe that the responsibility of financing a private education rests primarily with the student’s family. However, we recognize that the financial commitment can often be cost-prohibitive for many families, and we are committed to assisting families who demonstrate a measurable level of financial need.
Our financial assistance program is funded through the generosity of private donors and school fundraising. Assistance is not guaranteed each school year and is subject to availability.
Applications for assistance should only be made after earnest prayer and careful consideration of all aspects of your family’s financial circumstances. The use of financial assistance funds in cases where the need is not acute may deprive others of education opportunities.
Eligibility Requirements
- Family must complete the FACTS form and qualify for financial assistance.
5. Riverside Church Fund
These scholarships are financed by the Riverside Seventh-Day Adventist Church and are specifically for the children/grandchildren of members of the Riverside Church or a student who is a member of Riverside.
Eligibility Requirements
- Parents or Grandparents of the student/s are members of the Riverside Seventh-Day Adventist Church OR the student is a member of the Riverside Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
