Admissions & Aid

Next Steps for Accepted Students


 

​Congratulations—you're a Christendom Crusader!

You have taken the first step in becoming what our founder, Dr. Warren Carroll, called a “history-maker.”

Beginning your college journey is a significant milestone and it's completely normal and understandable to have many questions about preparing for the first semester. If at any time I or another member of the Admissions Team can help answer any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. In the meantime, we've included below your next steps along with some helpful resources to guide you from today through orientation on Friday, August 20, 2027!

We are very excited to welcome you to your new home in August and see the wonderful contributions you will make to Christendom and the world as work to "restore all things in Christ!"

In Christ,

Sam Phillips

The Next Steps

➤ Fill Out Our Financial Aid Application by November 15.

We offer generous need-based assistance to those who qualify, and we invite you to fill out our financial aid application online by November 15 to receive a financial aid award decision by December 1. To apply, parents will need to submit a CSS profile via the College Board website.

Christendom offers a special code to waive the $25 CSS processing fee. You can find your CSS waiver code on your Christendom portal on the financial aid tab.

Instructions for applying for need-based aid can be found at www.christendom.edu/aidforms

➤ Visit Campus in the fall Semester

If you haven't been back since BWE, be sure to make an official visit to campus by December 4 to claim your special $8,000 BWE Visit Scholarship! Schedule your day or overnight visit here.

➤ Deposit by February 15 to Reserve Your Spot

Submit your refundable $500 deposit no later than February 15, 2027 to reserve your spot at Christendom for Fall 2027. Log in to your Christendom portal to make your $500 deposit online. This deposit is fully refundable until May 1. Please note those who do not deposit by February 15 will lose their reserved spot for the fall. Make your deposit now.

➤ Take standardized tests

To maximize your academic scholarship opportunities, we strongly encourage you to take a standardized test (ACT, SAT, or CLT) multiple times. It could literally save you $1,000s!

Christendom super-scores results, and even after being accepted, you can continue to improve your scholarship offer by achieving higher scores. See the toggles below for more information on each of the tests.

Please note: Your student must have at least a standardized test score of 1000 SAT, 19 ACT, or 59 CLT in order to be eligible for the October 1 application deadline.
