OUR BIBLICAL PHILOSOPHY REGARDING TUITION ASSISTANCE

Informed by God’s purpose and guided by our Bible-based mission, vision, and values, we believe that Christian education is not simply a product or commodity. It is a ministry. It is a commitment. It is a sacrifice and a priority—for our supporting churches, donors, parents, teachers, and staff. It is also an opportunity—a connection between your child’s needs, your family’s values, and our school’s mission.

 

That is why, at the Lutheran School Association, the first and most important consideration is what is best for your child’s spiritual and academic future. This philosophy applies to every area of our ministry, including tuition and the allocation of tuition assistance, and will be explored during your family’s Educational Success Consultation.

 

We also recognize that finances play an important role in your family’s educational decisions. That’s why we provide scholarship assistance to qualifying families each school year. Our ultimate goal is that money will not prevent families who are willing to make their children’s Christian education a priority from attending the Lutheran School Association.

 

HOW MIGHT TUITION ASSISTANCE AT LSA WORK FOR ME?

…and it was distributed to each as any had need.  Acts 4:35b

 

In addition to your Tuition Assistance application, the following circumstances may also impact the amount of tuition assistance awarded:

  • Funds available for tuition assistance
  • Number of parent-applicants relative to available funds
  • Number of dependents in your family
  • Number of children you have enrolled at LSA
  • Other extenuating circumstances, as noted on the tuition assistance
    application

Tuition assistance is issued annually, and a new application must be submitted each year. Our administrator will provide application instructions during your Educational Success Consultation.

 

ADDITIONAL TUITION ASSISTANCE RESOURCES

In addition to our tuition assistance, you can use the following resources to help fund your child’s Christian education:

 

529 Plans 

With changes to tax laws in 2018, parents can now withdraw up to $10,000 per student per year, tax-free, from a 529 plan to cover the cost of tuition at private K-12 schools.

 

Payment Plans

Our team of committed administrators and finance personnel are available to assist your family in putting together a reasonable tuition payment plan in order to make Christian education at LSA a reality for your child.
