Program Information
The
offerings of members at St. Paul’s and St. John’s
churches of New Ulm support Christian education by
paying for about 80% of the school’s operational
expenses. These expenses are between $4500 and $5000
per year for each student. Because the souls of our
children are precious, Christian education is worth
the cost. The operation of St. Paul’s Lutheran School
is an important part of our ministry.
After
generous congregational support has been applied,
families of the school children must pay the remainder
of the expense for Christian education. We know
that tuition can be a challenge for some families,
especially those with limited income. This is why we
have a tuition assistance program. Families that
are interested in applying for assistance should note
the guidelines that follow.
Generally, tuition assistance will be considered for
families that have income below $35,000 per year.
Other factors, such as family size, unusually high
medical expenses, and high school/college tuition will
also be taken into consideration. We study all
applications. The Tuition Assistance Committee
makes all decisions about grants.
Eligibility
Current and
new students may apply for tuition assistance.
Applicants must be members of St. John’s or St. Paul’s
Churches in New Ulm, MN.
Level
of Support
The amount
of each grant will be determined on the basis of need
and the availability of funds. The number of requests
may affect the amount of the grants. We cannot
guarantee that every applicant will receive a grant.
Awards
of Grants
Information
on applications will be kept confidential. The
