Ways to Pay for LSSA

• Ask a local business to sponsor you. Sometimes restaurants will agree to donate a percentage of their sales for one evening to a good cause. That’s you -- you are an investment in the future!
   
• Ask your church community for financial help. Some churches have ministries dedicated to helping young members realize their dreams.
   
• Have a good old-fashioned car wash.
   
• Save babysitting or pet-sitting money. Ask relatives to match your earnings. (Hey, it can’t hurt to ask!)
   
• Begin a small lawn-mowing business.
   
• Ask local civic groups for support. Lions, Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus… these groups have a vested interest in your future, too. Write a persuasive letter stating what you hope to accomplish.
   
• Ask neighbors to donate gently used items for a garage sale.
   
• Inquire with school clubs and organizations about scholarships for summer academic programs. Many Gifted and Talented Programs offer such help.
   
• Inquire with the TLU admissions office using the Financial Aid Request Form (PDF). You may qualify for need-based financial assistance ranging from $100-300.
