IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Tuition assistance to individual, True Light Christian School students, is based on a 3rd party analysis of each families' financial need. The family sends an application for assistance to the independent company who makes an analysis of their data and submits to the school the amount, if any, of financial need the family has for tuition for grades kindergarten - 8th grade. Only enrolled students are granted assistance in the form of a credit on their family's tuition account with the school. School Board Officers and Directors (current & former) may be granted tuition assistance via the same process as all other school families. They are granted no special consideration for service on the school board. Mission donations are given to domestic, Christian organizations as approved by the school board.
