Frequently asked questions

Lite Tuition is a social-tech company that empowers students and organizations of all sizes to increase their fundraising potential through our custom-built platform — a debt-free way to fund education.

Simply sign up on our platform and you'll be able to start your campaign today. There's nothing to pay and no credit card required.

No. Students never have to pay for — or come out of pocket for — anything with Lite Tuition. The only information we need to disburse your funds is our Enrollment Verification form, so we can send the funds to your school.

You can be either the student or the parent of a student to use our platform.

Only one campaign can be running at any given time. We want supporters to know their contributions are going to the school you actually attend.

An active campaign is one a student uses weekly to try to raise the funds needed for tuition. Active campaigns aren't gauged on meeting a financial goal, but on how actively the student shares the campaign to raise funds.

Just email support@litetuition.com and include your school. We'll follow up once the school has been confirmed and added to the system for you to select.

Select “High School Senior” as your category and “Undecided” as the sub-category. Once you choose the school you'll attend, update your campaign and select it.

If you drop out or fail to provide your enrollment-verification form, all funds are refunded to your supporters, minus the payment-processor fees.

Your payment is delivered via ground shipping unless you elect to have funds electronically deposited to your school's account. Electronic deposit requires your school to authorize Lite Tuition to do so.

The platform is free for students. Lite Tuition charges 5% of the funds contributed by supporters for each campaign, and our payment processor applies a fee of 2.99% + $0.49 per contribution.

Once you find a student campaign you'd like to support, select the “Contribute” button to choose your amount. You can give as a guest without an account, or sign up free to track the campaigns you've supported.

Regular means your contribution information is shown in full. Partially Anonymous shows only your first name and the first letter of your last name. Fully Anonymous masks your first and last name entirely.
