Tuition & Billing
The financial gifts from the Northern California Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist church members allow for lower tuition for all students. The children of non-international SDA families receive an additional annual tuition discount in the amount of $7,344 for a Boarding student and $3,096 for a Day student. The net monthly billing amount for a non-international SDA Boarding student is $2,034 and a Day student is $1,186.
Tuition covers full room and meals for boarding students and two meals a day for day students. It also covers accident insurance, book rental, information technology resources, yearbook, class dues, boys or girls dorm club, most SA sponsored activities, and Fitch Faces (student/staff photo directory).
Depending on the student’s interests and classes, some additional expenses should be expected. They may include:
Church Three-Way Matching Scholarships
A family may be eligible to participate in the Church Three-Way Matching scholarship. If the scholarship is approved and the student stays current with the work hour requirement $3,000 – $3,600 can be applied towards the annual tuition depending on the student’s grade level.
Work Program
A student participating in the Church Three-Way Matching scholarship can earn approximately $3,000 towards the annual tuition by working on campus.
Sponsors
Families may allow sponsors to assist with tuition costs. Sponsors work directly with the families to determine a monthly payment amount.
Literature Evangelism and Summer Camp Matching Scholarships
Students who work in an SDA Conference sponsored literature evangelism or summer camp program immediately preceding the current school year are eligible for a matching scholarship up to $1,000 for the school year. Payment to the school and an earnings statement is required to be eligible for the matching scholarship.
Rio Lindo Financial Aid
All families who request financial aid are required to complete the FACTS Management Company financial aid application. Once a student is accepted to Rio Lindo, and the FACTS financial aid application becomes accessible, families are encouraged to complete the application timely. FACTS analyzes the application and evaluates the family’s financial position. The Rio Lindo scholarship committee determines financial assistance scholarship amounts. Travel Allowance: Students who live in Southern California or out of state may request up to $500 student account credit by providing receipts for travel-related expenses.
