Tuition Assistance: It is our
sincere desire to have all students interested in attending MLS to be able to
do so. Every year our school gives tuition
assistance to help families who have additional need beyond the
already-discounted tuition (MLS does not charge the actual cost of educating a
student). Priority is given to currently
enrolled families and to those who demonstrate the greatest need.
Anyone
requesting tuition assistance for the next school year must apply to the
following tuition tax-credit organizations.
Applications must be mailed directly to the organization, not to Martin
Luther School.
