Non-Public School Scholarships

Important Information for Parents Regarding the State of Illinois Invest In Kids Act of 2017
The State of Illinois created a new way to fund scholarships for children who choose to attend recognized non-public schools through the Invest in Kids Act. Scholarships offered through this program have the potential to cover up to 100 percent of tuition and eligible charges for the 2018-2019 school year based on the income guidelines below.
Students in Grade K-12 have the opportunity to receive these tax credit scholarships for the 2018-2019 school year. Families who meet the income guidelines below are directed to visit the website empowerillinois.org to determine what is necessary to begin the process of applying for these scholarships on Jan. 24, 2018. If you would like assistance with this process, please set up a personal meeting with Dick Wauer, Business Manager. The scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis so it is very important to apply early.
Families who would normally apply for Need-Based Tuition Assistance from Immanuel and meet the income guidelines below must apply for Invest in Kids Scholarships first. If there is still a need for tuition assistance, families may apply according to Immanuel’s policies and procedures. That information, from a third party, will be forthcoming in the near future.
Businesses or individuals interested in learning more about making a contribution to these scholarships and earning a 75 percent tax credit on their donation may visit empowerillinois.org and click on the “Donors” tab. It is important to check dates for donating as timing is tight this first year.

Help support Immanuel's sister congregation San Pablo, Aurora and their efforts to reach out to their community.

Aurora Pregnancy Information Center (PIC)
Each year at Christmastime, Immanuel students collect layette items and donate their chapel offerings to the Aurora Pregnancy Information Center as another way of honoring the birth of Baby Jesus in such lowly estate. Preschool families are asked to bring layette items to the school office or their classroom before Dec. 22. These items will be delivered to the Aurora PIC by ILCS staff members. Chapel offerings from K-8 students are being designated to this local charity as well for the month of December.
