Invest in Tomorrow's Leaders

“The generosity shown to us has impacted our family far beyond tuition assistance—it has given our children hope and a place where they can thrive both in their education and their walk with Christ. We are praying for the day when we can provide for others in the way we have experienced.” - Parent of Scholarship Recipient

Franklin Classical School—an established 501(c)(3) charitable organization—has witnessed firsthand how generosity transforms lives. Our donors who give at any level—affectionately known as Legacy Partners—can contribute any amount to the general Tuition Assistance Fund through this page. Our collective goal is to raise $300,000 in tuition assistance to support incoming students with financial need for the Fall 2026/27 academic year. This $300,000 represents our most urgent and essential support, relied on by 20% of our students.

Legacy Partners may give any amount toward our urgent $300,000 goal, but a one‑time gift of $3,000 offers a new and special opportunity to name a scholarship award. Because Franklin Classical typically provides tuition assistance of only up to one‑quarter of tuition, a $3,000 gift—the average scholarship amount—truly opens the door for a student who would otherwise be unable to attend. Legacy Partners may name their scholarship in a way that reflects their values, whether in memory or in honor of a loved one, in recognition of a virtue, or in tribute to a faith hero, such as the C.S. Lewis Scholarship for Truth. While staff will select qualifying students of need, both the Legacy Partner and student recipient remain anonymous to one another. Naming a scholarship elevates a gift from a simple transaction into a transformational act—a living testimony of encouragement and blessing.

Major Gifts and Endowments: For those who wish to make a lasting impact on our tuition assistance fund, gifts of $50,000 or more can be used to create an endowment through our financial institution. This creates the opportunity for named endowments—such as the Smith Scholarship Endowment Fund—that will continue supporting students in need for generations to come.
