Yes!
Families qualify for tuition assistance when the ratio of tuition cost to income in the previous tax year is 10% or greater. This qualifies for all children in kindergarten through 8th grade.
High school students are ineligible to receive tuition assistance from LESA, and are not factored into the combined tuition cost for the elementary school.
The MO scholars’ program and tuition assistance from LESA are not one in the same. Some families can qualify for both types of assistance. After receiving the MO Scholars tuition assistance, if your family’s combined tuition is still 10% of your income from the previous tax year, your family can still qualify for LESA tuition assistance.
