About Timothy

The Timothy Fund
Support for All Students
The Timothy Fund supports all students. It helps to fill the gap between tuition and what it actually costs to educate each student. In fact, it is because of the generosity of so many — from parents, grandparents, alumni, and community members – that we had a historically low 1% tuition increase for the 2020-2021 school year. The Timothy Fund also offers tuition assistance to those families who need more financial support. When you give to the Timothy Fund you are directly supporting our mission to uphold Biblical truth, ignite academic growth, and inspire courageous leadership one student at a time – all for the glory of God.
