Grand Canyon University, Our First Partnership

We our proud to announce our school's partnership with Grand Canyon University. It is the first of many partnerships we are working on to benefit the students, parents, and faculty of Bios Christian Academy. Over the next six months we expect to announce other partnerships with universities and businesses. These partnerships are developed to increase opportunities for our community. These include increased student scholarship opportunities, dual credit courses, discounts for Bios staff and parents at select universities, use of college facilities for sports, increased name recognition for Bios locally and nationally, discounts in school materials, and opportunities for teachers to share their expertise locally and nationally.

Below are the initial opportunities Grand Canyon University has developed to support Christian schools in the area. We are very excited to be one of the first twenty schools to be a part of this unique and beneficial consortium of schools.

Canyon Christian Schools Consortium (CCSC) Member Benefits:

· High school students (grade 9-12) who are accepted to attend GCU will receive a $5,000 (in-residence) or $2,500 (non-residence) scholarship at GCU per year for each year of attendance at a coalition-member Christian high school. This could save students up to $20,000 on college tuition over the course of four years. The consortium-member school will provide GCU with names along with the number of semesters completed for each student.

· CCSC members will have access to an exclusive 15% discount for their teachers, providing savings toward tuition and fees for master’s or doctoral degree programs at GCU.

· CCSC members will have access to an exclusive 15% discount for their students’ parents, providing savings toward tuition and fees for bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree programs at GCU.

We hope to announce very soon a second partnership, which will also provide greater opportunities for Bios families.
