Financial Assistance & Tuition
at CVCA Sonora
​We understand that finances play a role in your child’s education. Tuition is an investment in your child’s future. For many families who demonstrate a financial need, we look for ways to help so they can make that investment. Let’s work together to find a solution for your child’s education. Financial aid is awarded as a gift to those who are approved.

To help ensure that every child has an opportunity to receive a Christian education, CVCA Sonora offers financial aid. If you have financial concerns, we encourage you to begin by applying for aid through the program.
Please contact us if you have any concerns about tuition. Private financial aid consultations are available.

Aid for Members of an SDA Church
Central Valley Christian Academy is operated by the Central California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, part of the Pacific Union. Thanks to the financial support of the conference and its constituent churches, families who are members of any Seventh-day Adventist Church in Central California are eligible for various scholarships and financial aid through the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
To apply for financial aid, except for the Kindergarten Scholarship, you must submit your application directly to the Central California Conference Office of Education or the Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Be aware that deadlines vary, so be sure to apply early.
