Tuition gift certificates
Calvin tuition gift certificates allow you to "pre-pay" tuition (all or some) at today's price for a future Calvin student. A Calvin tuition gift certificate is the record of "tuition units" purchased by someone (a parent, grandparent, friend, or the student themself) on behalf of a specified future Calvin student.
