Cougar Family Scholarship

The Lenawee Christian School (LCS) Cougar Family Scholarship Program is designed to provide temporary financial assistance to returning LCS families who have experienced extreme circumstances. This can allow a family’s children to stay enrolled in LCS while their financial or home situation stabilizes. These scholarships can go above the 50% cap set for financial aid with the approval of the LCS Board Finance Committee and LCM Executive Team. Unfortunately, LCS cannot offer scholarships to all of the families who apply. However, we can assure each applicant that he or she will receive consideration and fair treatment. LCS does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its scholarship programs.
