Tuition Grants | Frequently Asked Questions
  • The Tuition Assistance Committee makes its decisions after reviewing FACTS recommendations in light of funds available and the applicant pool. A committee member will contact the applicant if additional information is required. Additionally, a member of the Tuition Assistance Committee will be available to meet with applicants if desired or necessary. 
  • All applicants will receive a letter by mail notifying them of the committee’s decisions. We strongly recommend that families complete their applications during the normal enrollment period in order to have the best opportunity to receive grants.
  • The Tuition Assistance Committee considers other factors in its decisions. Students must demonstrate good academic standing and conduct. Parents must adhere to the conduct expectations and conflict resolution as outlined in the Parent-Student Handbook. Any chronic disciplinary or conduct issues arising during the school year can be evaluated by the committee and may impact eligibility at any time. Families are expected to remain current with their tuition payments and incidentals in order for their grants to be sustained. Any unpaid balances from the prior school year must be brought current before tuition grants will be considered.
  • Tuition grants are not automatically renewable, nor should they be assumed to remain at prior levels. A new application must be completed for each year that tuition assistance is desired.
  • Yes. The admission process must first be completed and your student fully enrolled before applying for a tuition grant. However, a family’s decision to apply for tuition grants will have no bearing on the admission decision. 
  • Enrollment and tuition grant decisions are made independently. If, within 30 days after receiving the grant decision, an applicant elects not to attend LCS (and it is before school has commenced) their enrollment fees will be refunded.
  • If, after applying with FACTS, one or more of children will not be attending Lighthouse, the applicant must promptly email the Tuition Assistance Committee and should expect a revision in the grant amount.
  • Please contact the Tuition Assistance Committee via email with any questions.

  • Tuition grants are credited on a monthly basis to the family’s FACTS account.
