FINANCIAL AID
Since Trinity Lutheran School is a vital part of the overall ministry of Trinity Lutheran Church, Alma, Missouri, the support of the school is looked upon as the responsibility of the entire congregation. The school is largely dependent upon the congregation for its support, and a large portion of the congregational budget is designated for the school. We also welcome and encourage families who are not members of Trinity to enroll their children in the school. In fact, the majority of students at Trinity are of other congregations or dominations, and from locations other than Alma.
The actual cost per pupil for calendar year 2014 was $6,400.00. Since we wish to make a Christian education in our school available to those who desire it, financial assistance may be available to families in need. The financial assistance allows students, regardless of financial means, to attend the school. The 2014-2015 tuition for non-members is $3,000.00 for the first child, and $1,000 for the second child, there is no charge for the third, fourth, etc.. The first Trinity member child is $700 and the second Trinity member child is $400, there is no charge for the third, fourth, etc. The pre-school fee is $135.00 per month for the 4 year-old program and $75.00 per month for the 3 year-old program.
All families who desire reduced tuition rates must show just reason for not being able to pay the full-tuition amount. This should be similar to that information required for the reduced/free lunch program, or information required by other institutions, which offer financial aid. Any financial assistance is to be approved by the Principal and Pastor.
