Financial Aid
To further support families seeking a Christ-centered education for their children, Trinity offers several options to supplement tuition costs. Please review the qualifications for financial aid; these benefits apply to more people than you might think!
Indiana Choice Scholarship
The Indiana Choice Scholarship also called the voucher program, provides scholarships to eligible students to offset tuition costs at participating schools. Eligibility criteria are based on household income and fulfilling one of several potential pathways for acceptance. Recent changes at the state level make this scholarship more accessible than ever before.
Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO)
The SGO is a state-approved organization that receives donations from individuals or corporations for the purpose of granting scholarships for students meeting income requirements. If a student’s family income meets the eligibility guidelines, they can receive a minimum of $500 as a scholarship applied to their tuition.
TLS Scholarship
Trinity Lutheran Church and School allocates tuition support through several designated pathways based on family need and availability of funds. It is the desire of the congregation to first offer support to students that are members of the congregation and have the greatest level of need to support their education at Trinity.

Supporting Trinity Students
Donations & Benefit
Tuition and assistance from the church go to meet a majority of the operating costs of our school. Here are three additional ways in which you can support Trinity students directly.
Donating to Internal Scholarships
In addition to accepting Indiana State Vouchers and the SGO program, Trinity funds internal scholarships as well. Two of the more notable scholarships are the George Woldt Memorial Scholarship, and the Cindy Cataldo Memorial Scholarship (which benefits our preschool families). Both scholarships are in honor of the life and ministry of two former Trinity staff.
Donating to the SGO
Trinity's Annual Benefit
Every year, as the Trinity Family we gather together at our annual school auction. This benefit is an opportunity to partner with our local community to recognize the accomplishments of our students and staff as well as provide financial support for future projects.
