What is an active campaign?

An active campaign is a campaign that users are using weekly to try and raise the funds needed for their tuition. Active campaigns are not gauged on meeting your financial goals, but instead on the activity of  the user to share their campaign to raise funds.

How do I make my campaign private or restricted from general view?

What if my School is not listed?

If your school is not listed, just send us an email to support@litetuition.com and include your School in the email. We will follow-up once the school has been confirmed and added to the system for you to select.

What if I am a High School Senior and am undecided?

If you are a High School Senior and have not committed to a specific  school, you can select “High School Senior” as your Category and select  “Undecided” in the Sub Category section. Once you determine the school that you are going to, update your campaign and select the school that you will be attending.

What if I drop out prior to my campaign being completed or do not submit my enrollment verification forms?

If you either drop out or fail to provide your enrollment verification form, then all funds will be refunded to all supports minus payment processor fees.

How will my payment be sent?

Your payment will be delivered via ground shipping unless you elect to have you funds electronically deposited to your school’s account. If you elect to have your funds deposited electronically then you must partner with your school to authorize Lite Tuition to do so.

Why is my campaign loading slow?

Your site loading speed may be based on your internet browser. We recommend  using Chrome or ensuring that you current browser has the most recent  updates for better performance.
