A Message from THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL AID AND ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF ENROLLMENT
Dear LFCDS Families,
We annually provide an overview of Lake Forest Country Day School's financial aid program, which offers need-based awards to students in Junior Kindergarten through Grade 8 for families who require grants to facilitate a Lake Forest Country Day School education. LFCDS provides financial aid for families based on demonstrated need, as determined by a third-party application and Lake Forest Country Day School's Financial Aid Committee. Applications for the 2027-2028 school year are due on or before December 18, 2026.
LFCDS is increasingly sensitive to the needs of various families and circumstances. We observe the highest levels of confidentiality during the financial aid application process. Application information will be reviewed only by staff members directly involved in the program's administration or decisions about allocating tuition assistance awards.
If you are unsure whether your family should apply for financial aid, I encourage you to contact me at (847) 615-6188 or via email at lisa.horstmann@lfcds.org to explore your options.
We are grateful to have you as part of the LFCDS community and look forward to our continued partnership.
Warmly,
Lisa Horstmann
Director of Financial Aid and Associate Director of Enrollment
