Scholarship Opportunities

We are aware of the cost of a Christian school education and believe it as a wise investment in your child’s future. When you visit, we will provide information about the various scholarship opportunities Trinity provides and how we structure our tuition payment plan to assist families in reaching their goal of sending their child to Trinity.

Trinity offers two scholarship programs. There is no fee to apply to either program, and we strongly suggest you apply to both. Both programs award scholarships based on need.
The application deadline is Monday, May 1, 2023. Also, there will not be a second round of ILSTO awards for 2023-24. Please apply as early as possible.

• Iowa Lutheran Student Tuition Organization (ILSTO) Form (mail to the address on the form)
• Trinity Scholarship Form (drop off or mail to the school office, or scan & email)
• Trinity Scholarship Directions

Remember to complete both forms and to include the required supporting information.

Trinity Lutheran School admits students of any race, sex, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, progress, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, national, and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, and athletics or other school-administered programs.

Education Savings Accounts (ESA) are currently available for all Kindergarten students, new students to Trinity, and current families that qualify based on income (click on the link for details). The ESA’s are by the State of Iowa, through your tax dollars, and provide funding to pay tuition. We encourage all families to learn more about ESA’s. The deadline was June 30.

If you have applied for an ESA, there are a few more steps to complete in your Odyssey account.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. If you have not received an approval email, log into your Odyssey account to check the status of your application.
2. After approval, you must select the school your student will attend. Trinity confirms that your student is enrolled, and records their total tuition on Odyssey.
3. You must confirm the tuition amount with Odyssey.
