Portland Christian Schools offers several merit-based scholarships for new and continuing students. Thanks to the generosity of the Oregon Community Foundation-Joseph E. Weston, we are also able to offer needs-based scholarships.

Scholarships will be awarded only to students who have applied for and been offered admission, or who are currently enrolled at Portland Christian Schools. Only one scholarship will be awarded per student.
