TUITION & FINANCIAL AID

Invest In Tomorrow

A Lutheran High School education is an investment in your child’s future. LHS graduates are extremely well prepared for success beyond high school as a result of the education they receive in a Christ-centered environment focused on helping them grow.

Tuition

We believe 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 2025-2026 school year is $12,694.

Financial Aid

We make every effort to assist those families who demonstrate financial need. Needs-based financial aid is available for families who qualify as determined by the FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment.  All tuition grants are awarded on a per-year basis and must be applied for on an annual basis.

A variety of awards and grants are available:

Association Grant

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

Family Grant

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

Tuition Grant

Based on financial need and available to all students, LHS utilizes FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment as a means to provide tuition assistance to our families. All applications are submitted through FACTS online.

Community Awards

LHS will award up to five LHS Community Leadership Awards each year to the top incoming freshmen who are not members of an LHS Association church.

Association Awards

Available only to LHS Association Church and school students, Association congregations will determine award recipients and report these to Lutheran High School. Ideally, the awards will be awarded/presented during graduation proceedings or during a service of the Association congregation.

Merit Award

Each grade school principal, in consultation with the 8th grade teacher(s), selects the award recipient based on the student’s Christian examples and the use of their God-given talent to demonstrate exceptional academic achievement in the classroom.

Kingdom Workers Award

Each Association congregation may select one recipient for every seven students entering grade 9 from that church. Recipients are chosen by the pastor or staff based on Christian lifestyle, service to others, interest in full-time church work, parental support and willingness to participate in the “Kingdom Worker” program.

Youth Leadership Award

Each Association church may select one grade 9 student as a recipient, based on demonstrated Christian leadership in the church’s youth programs. Recipients are chosen by the Youth Minister/DCE, Youth Board or equivalent.

The Brad Walters Award

Funded by the Walters family in memory of Brad Walters—a dedicated supporter of Christian education and Lutheran High—this award is intended to help students with strong potential pursue a Christ-centered education. Recipients are selected based on academic performance, ability, service and Christian lifestyle.

Clara and Patsy Beachler Award

Funded by Jerry and Karen Steinbach in memory of Karen’s mother and grandmother, this award honors their strong belief in Lutheran education. Inspired by the Christian education she received, Karen offers this scholarship to support other young women in accessing the same opportunity.

Memorial Awards

These scholarships are established in loving memory of individuals whose lives reflected a commitment to faith, service and Christian education. Each award honors their legacy by supporting current and future Lutheran High students who share their values and aspirations.

The Caryen M. Nolle Award Endowment Fund at the LCMS Foundation was created in memory of Nolle (‘96) by her parents. Caryen intended to become an educator at an LCMS school.

The Justice Simmonds Memorial Award Fund was established in loving memory as Simmonds (’20) loved robotics and was an active member of the LHS Roboteers.

Sgt. Richard E. Weinhold Memorial Award

The Richard E. Weinhold Memorial Award was established by his family in loving memory of him as a devoted father, husband, police officer and lifelong servant to others.
