For families inquiring about tuition assistance, below is an income table to determine the threshold for qualification. Please note that this income table is meant to aid Light of Christ in determining priority of family needs and it enables the school system to sustain a tuition assistance program indefinitely. After confirming that your family qualifies based upon the income table parameters listed below, an application is filled out on FACTS, tax returns are submitted and then FACTS verifies the application information. Once the information has been verified, FACTS notifies our Review Committee. This Committee then reviews every application and determines, based on need, if tuition assistance will be awarded and at what amount.
*How to use the Table: find your household size (column 1) and the number of students you have attending Light of Christ (column 2). Select whichever of the two is further down the table and look at the amount in column 3. If your Total Family Income for the calendar year is BELOW that amount, then you are able to apply for Tuition Assistance.
