Tuition Assistance Program
Many families value the academic excellence and spiritual formation the Lafayette Catholic
School System provides so much they rearrange their financial priorities to
send their children to the Catholic schools. For some families however, the
financial stretch is very difficult and thankfully help is available through
the Tuition Assistance Program.
Tuition Assistance is available to Catholic families who are registered at a
Catholic parish and are a “member in good standing.” Nearly 25% of the LCSS
families are recipients of Tuition Assistance. In 2007-08, tuition assistance helped provide a Catholic education for 169 students in
96 families.
A variety of giving options are available for making a gift
to Tuition Assistance. Non-designated gifts to the Lafayette Catholic
School System are typically directed to the Tuition Assistance Trust. For
more information on giving to Tuition Assistance, contact the Development
Office, (765) 474-7500 or willis@lcss.org.
