From the day you set rates to the day the last payout clears, Lazarus
runs your tuition cycle — sending plans, collecting payments, and
reconciling Stripe in real time. So you can stop chasing balances and
start running your school.
ONE PRODUCT, THREE AUDIENCES
Tuition isn't one job — it's an admin's, a family's, and a bookkeeper's.
Lazarus gives each of them exactly what they need.
FOR SCHOOL ADMINS
Build tuition rates, payment plans, and discount rules in March — then generate a tuition plan for every family in seconds.
- Bulk tuition plan generation
- Edit rates and discounts mid-year
- Override per family when needed
FOR FAMILIES
No new account, no portal to learn. Click the link, see the breakdown, pick a payment plan, and pay with whatever's in your wallet.
- No login required
- Card, bank transfer, or invoice
- Autopay for recurring plans
FOR BOOKKEEPERS
Every Stripe charge is enriched with the student and family name. Refunds, payouts, and receipts are tracked end to end.
- Live Stripe balance & payout schedule
- Full refund audit trail
- Offline payment logging
THE ANCHOR CONCEPT
Every family's bill lives inside one document — students, rates, discounts, payment
options, and total. Editable until sent. Trackable from sent to paid.
FAMILY CHECKOUT
''The first year we used Lazarus, our finance office spent zero hours on tuition follow-up in August.''
THE MONEY SIDE
Lazarus and Stripe stay in lockstep — so your dashboard tells you what's in the bank,
what's on the way, and what every line item is for.
THE HARD PARTS, HANDLED
The reason most school billing tools fall apart isn't the happy path — it's everything that
happens after. Lazarus is built for the messy middle.
Cancel the tuition plan, calculate the refundable amount, issue a partial refund with reason and notes — all from one screen. The application fee stays put as a service charge, the rest reverses through Stripe automatically.
Refunds
Issue a full or partial refund in seconds. Every refund tracks the reason, the user who issued it, the timestamp, and the net effect on your books. No spreadsheet of corrections.
Offline payments
Log the payment manually with a memo. The tuition plan moves to active or paid, your billing team gets a notification, and the books reconcile — no parallel paper trail.
Late additions
Add the student to the household, regenerate the tuition plan, and only the new charges go out. Multi-student discounts re-apply automatically. Existing payments stay intact.
LIFE BEFORE VS. RESURRECTED
The same job, before Lazarus and after.
Send your first tuition plan in minutes. No credit card
required — and Lazarus is free for schools when families
cover the platform fee.
