Prospective families may view the ENROLLMENT HANDBOOK for detailed information about the enrollment process, financial aid, and scholarships.

Tuition & financial Aid

LHS graduates are extremely well prepared for success beyond high school as a result of the rigorous college-prep education they receive.  Students experience a Christ-centered environment that is focused on helping them grow spiritually so that the Gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ continues to be a strong part of their daily lives beyond high school.

We would like to visit with you to discuss Lutheran High School’s tuition rates, payment plan options, scholarships and financial aid opportunities.  Please contact Micah Braddy, Director of Admissions.

A Lutheran High School education is an investment in your child’s future.

Tuition

Lutheran High School believes that the cost of education is a shared responsibility between the school, the church and the families themselves. 

Keeping this shared responsibility in mind, the tuition rate for the 2024-2025 school year is $11,880. Read the Tuition Letter 2024-2025 for more information.

A variety of scholarships and grants are available to students in grades 9-12.  See the Scholarships & Grants information below for a brief description.

Financial Aid

LHS makes every effort to assist those families who demonstrate financial need. Tuition Scholarships (needs-based financial aid) are available for families who qualify as determined by the FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment.  All Tuition Scholarships are awarded on a per year basis and must be applied for on an annual basis.

Scholarships & Grants

In order to be eligible to receive scholarships, students must be enrolled at LHS before April 15, 2024 (Note – this does not apply to Association Scholarships as those are chosen by High School Association Churches and Schools). Please refer to the Enrollment Handbook for more information, including specific scholarship criteria. Please note, for the incoming Class of 2028 from the High School Association elementary schools, scholarships will be awarded/presented at your Graduation / Commencement Service.

A student who is a confirmed member of a Lutheran High School Association church, or who has a parent that is a member of an Association church, will be given a discount.  Eligibility is validated  yearly by Pastors at their respective congregation.  This discount is possible because each of the nine Association churches contribute to the funding of Lutheran High.  

Families who have more than one child attending LHS are eligible for a 15% discount for each additional child.

Available only to LHS Association Church and School students, Association congregations will determine scholarship recipients and report these to Lutheran High School. Recipients will be notified via mail. Ideally, the Scholarships will be awarded/presented during graduation proceedings or during a service of the Association congregation.
