Continuous Enrollment Tuition Plan Agreement

All financially responsible parties, without exception, must sign a Continuous Enrollment Plan Agreement. Students are continually enrolled from their initial enrollment into LM until the graduation of the student(s) from Lancaster Mennonite, or the termination of this agreement as provided herein.

Annual Enrollment Fee: A non-refundable annual enrollment fee is required for students to be enrolled for the next school year. For each subsequent year the student(s) is enrolled at LM, this fee will be automatically charged to the family’s FACTS account each year. Once paid, the enrollment fee is non-refundable, except when contingent on financial aid.

Financial Aid: Need-based financial aid (also called tuition assistance) may be available to qualifying students at Lancaster Mennonite School. To apply for financial aid, parents need to complete an online application through FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition). A link to FAST is available on the LM website. After completing the online application, tax documents need to be submitted directly to FAST for verification purposes. Applicants must reapply each year. For details, call the financial aid office
