TO REGISTER COURSES & TO
ATTEND PRIORITY WORKSHOPS!
Lumen Christi Tuition
Assistance and the Diocesan
Scholarship are Available –
Enrolling your student in FACTS is required to register courses and for us to meet our mission
and goal to achieve excellence. Enrolling in FACTS helps us plan for student success! In order
for us to organize the school’s schedule of courses for your student and ALL students, we must
know who is planning to attend school. FACTS Enrollment is our tool to determine class sizes
and balance courses. It provides us the information necessary to plan our staff, further grow in
wisdom living our faith, thoughtfully develop the content of our seminars, build our agenda for
extracurricular activities, and integrate our study support programs. Thank you for the sacrifices
you make to send your student to Lumen Christi, for investing your time in our students and
school, and believing in the power of the Light of Christ. With enrollment in FACTS, each
family is required to pay a non-refundable yearly Family Enrollment Fee. The fee is $75 until
February 28th, and $150 on March 1st and later.
The Application process for Lumen Christi
tuition assistance is now open through the
FACTS Grant and Aid Financial Needs
Assessment located on the Lumen Christi
website in QuickLinks. Prior to application,
families must set up a Tuition Payment Plan
with FACTS under the Jackson Catholic
School System. Each family is required
to pay a non-refundable yearly Family
Enrollment Fee of $75 until February

The Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) is an exciting opportunity to accumulate
credit toward tuition costs. Families who use T.R.I.P. can potentially reduce their tuition by
hundreds of dollars each year by shopping at participating merchants. Through T.R.I.P., gift
certificates from grocery stores, restaurants and many other businesses are purchased at a
discount. The certificates are then sold to participating families at face value, with the discount
passed on in the form of a tuition credit. Anyone can participate in T.R.I.P. and help a family
reduce their tuition. Often other family members, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, church
members and friends enroll in T.R.I.P. and designate their credits to a family tuition account at
the school. If you are already enrolled in T.R.I.P. at the elementary level, you may direct your
tuition reduction in the amount you would like to Lumen Christi at any time.
