Here’s how we build your financial aid package:

First, we award scholarships.
- Academic scholarships depend on your grade point average (GPA) and ACT or SAT test scores (optional). Calculate your scholarship award by using our Net Price Calculator.
- Achievement scholarships recognize your accomplishments and the promise of future achievement at GC.
Then we add need-based grants.
- Many students qualify for federal, state and institutional grants based on their family financial situation. This is gift aid, so it doesn’t need to be paid back!
Next, we offer student loans.
- First-year students can take advantage of low-interest federal loans. Parent loans and private loans are also available.
And finally, we add church aid and work-study.
- Our church aid matching grant will apply dollar-for-dollar to the first $1,000 your church gives. First-year students can earn a maximum of $1,200 in work-study income.
