Tuition Reductions

Each year the governing board considers students who, because of special circumstances, request a tuition reduction for the coming year. Applications may be picked up in the school office. The applicant takes the application to the family's pastor for approval before it is sent to the school board for evaluation and an interview. Deductions will be awarded to returning students and those with the greatest need first. Enrollment materials and tuition reduction applications need to be turned in by July 1st with decisions to be made by July 31st. (Funds will be awarded to those meeting the deadline for the applications first.) This process must be repeated each year. (Please check with extended family, other sources, or your church before approaching the school for tuition reduction.) Those receiving tuition reduction will need to serve 40 volunteer hours and purchase $5,000.00 in scrip to help offset tuition cost. Scrip requirement can be met by extended family and friends as well.

Tuition Payment

Tuition is computed for the school year. It may be paid yearly, by semester, or in ten equal payments with the first being due by August 1st. If desired, July can be used for the payment of the materials fee. Subsequent payments are due the first of each month and the last is due May 1st. If you decide to withdraw your child, payment must be made for the full quarter. Coupons are issued for monthly payments which are due on the 1st of each month and are considered late after the 5th (Rom. 13:7-8) $30.00 will be charged for checks that are returned by the bank.

 Finders Reward

An existing NLCS family who helps enroll a new student can earn a $200 tuition reduction on their last tuition payment providing that the new student is not receiving a tuition reduction, is enrolled for the entire year, and mentions the recruiting family at the time of enrollment.
