Scholarships & Tuition Assistance

Central Christian Academy recognizes that financial considerations play an important role in your family’s educational decisions. It is our prayer that the cost of tuition would not be an obstacle for any family when choosing to pursue a Christ-centered education at CCA. Our desire is to serve you and your children in all areas, including affording tuition.

Principal’s Scholarship

Financial aid and scholarships are available to all CCA students.  Find out more about needs-based financial aid below.  Our Principal’s Scholarship will grant $715 per student for families that do not qualify for the traditional needs-based scholarships.

EITC Scholarship Program

PA business entities and any individual(s) or couples who pay PA Personal Income Tax make this scholarship program possible by making donations to EITC Scholarship organizations that allocate funds to schools like Central Christian Academy.
