The $200 Capital Improvement Fee (CIF) paid annually by each school family in two installments, September 1 and February 1, enables the school to accomplish improvement projects.

Refund Policy

Students with significant academic or behavioral concerns or major doctrinal differences may not integrate well into our school program. If we determine this is the case, the application fee is fully refundable.
Delinquent Payments
A late fee of $20.00 will be charged if tuition is received after the 10th of the month. (Payments made after the 10th of the month are considered late.) Accounts, including tuition and before school care/extended-school-day charges, not paid by the end of the month may result in dismissal of the student from school until the account is brought up-to-date. (It may be possible for the parents to work out a payment plan with the school in order to avoid student dismissal.) Report cards will not be released at the end of the nine-week period if any account is in arrears. (This includes Extended School Day charges.) Student records cannot be transferred until all accounts are paid in full. LOLCS reserves the right to assign all delinquent accounts to a third-party agent/agency for collection and to file with the appropriate credit reporting agencies any balances uncollected beyond 90 days.
Returned Check Fee
There will be a fee of $20.00 for all returned checks.
Tuition Assistance
Financial Scholarship Opportunities
Land O’ Lakes Christian School has two scholarship opportunities for qualifying students:
Step Up For Students (SUFS) and AAA Scholarship Foundation (AAA) are scholarship funding organizations providing private school tuition scholarship opportunities based on a family’s income. Land O’ Lakes Christian School’s participation in the SUFS and AAA program enables families to apply for a scholarship using the criteria set in place by each scholarship funding organization, and to be awarded a letter of acceptance, with renewal options each subsequent year. LOLCS only accepts the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (FTC) funded by corporate tax donations (no government funding) from these two organizations. To learn more about the eligibility criteria set forth by SUFS go to www.stepupforstudents.org or call 1-877-735-7837. To learn more about the AAA Scholarship Foundation go to
www.aaascholarships.org or call 1-888-707-2465.
LOLCS Scholarships are awarded based on financial need as determined by a third-party verification process through Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS). Interested participants are responsible for the application fee charged by TADS. The maximum amount of scholarships is not to exceed 25% of the tuition amount and is based on the funds actually available. The family is responsible for all other fees and costs associated with enrollment and school participation. Scholarship participants must reapply through TADS each school year. Interested applicants may visit www.sssandtadsfa.force.com/familyportal and complete the Financial Aid Assessment for further information.
