Opportunities to Support BCS Financially Tuition supports 90% of
the BCS Budget each year. We ask each family to prayerfully consider
supporting BCS financially, above and beyond tuition. The most
important and cost effective gift is one to the Annual Fund. After
that, there are many fun ways to support BCS programs and students!
