Financial Aid
In an effort to reduce the costs of education for families who cannot afford it, St. Peter Lutheran School offers financial aid through the Family School Aid Fund. We believe the cost of tuition should not be a deterrent to families who wish to give their children a quality, Christ-centered education. To be eligible, all candidates must demonstrate financial need.
In order to receive financial assistance, please click here to access FACTS Aid & Grant. The current cost to file an application is $40 but this is subject to change. Once you have filled out the application and submitted your fee, your information will be processed by FACTS. Information will be sent to the principal on recommendations for assistance. Once this information is received by the principal, the Family School Aid Committee will meet to determine if financial aid will be granted. Please note that your personal information will remain confidential. The committee only receives your financial information; they are not given the name of any of the family members.
Please contact the principal if you have further questions about our Family School Aid Fund.
