The ILSTO continues to gather funds for the 2011 year to aid students in our Lutheran schools
for the 2012-13 school year. We hope to reach our goal of $483,700 before December 31, 2011.
Donated funds assist students with tuition expenses who wish to attend a Lutheran school in
Iowa and the donor receives a 65% Iowa state tax credit. This current school year 599 students
are being helped by $550,000 raised in 2010.
Lutheran eduction financing and the make-up of our student bodies has changed drastically in
the last 25 years:
*Most schools now charge tuition
*Many schools non-member enrollment exceeds member enrollment - up to 15% are unchurched
*Families no longer consist of two parent homes.
*The problems that students face because of environment and personal growth can be
overwhelming.
We need your help to reach our goal. Donor forms are available online at
www.iowalutheransto.org; at a Lutheran school; or by contacting Iowa District East STO Program
Manager - lois.warnsholz@lsportal.net. This is a great program to let family and friends know
about also.
