The Board of Education administers the financial aid policy for Our Savior Lutheran School. Each year the Board will budget a designated amount of funds to be used for financial
aid, and will solicit special gifts for the financial aid fund. These funds are available to all families
who wish to have their child/children attend our school or another Synod school. The aid is in the
form of a grant and does not need to be repaid.
The Board of Education uses a financial aid selection process that strives to remove subjectivity to the awards. The process involves assessing the needs of the family, the financial capability of the family, and the spiritual concerns of the family. This is a difficult process and requires the utmost in objectivity. All awards and information provided remain confidential and are at the sole discretion of the Board. The Board of Education will advise applicants and the selection committee of the total amount of funds that can be awarded with a recommendation of a maximum award for each family.
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION PROCESS
Families wishing to apply for financial aid must complete the application and turn it in to the
Board of Education Chairman in a sealed envelope by April 15th of each year. Families should
include a brief narrative describing their need, the amount requested, and other relevant
information to support their request. The application must include their most recent Federal
income tax returns (including W-2s). These documents will help the selection committee
establish need based upon financial situation.
Applications for financial aid are accepted from March 15th – April 15th each year and
financial aid packages are awarded in June. It is important to note that financial aid
requests will be considered primarily during this one time-frame each year.
