Elementary school students need to fill out the SAFE-Lutheran tax-exempt
application form to enable Ascension students to receive funds through this
“tuition tax-credit program”. In
addition, parents of elementary students are encouraged to solicit donations to
the SAFE-Lutheran program to financially assist in supporting their children
specifically, which also supports our school indirectly. For those families requiring additional
financial assistance, formal financial aid request forms are available in the
school office.
