Tuition & Financial Aid

The Lutheran High School Association of Greater Milwaukee is proud to be part of a community that supports each other emotionally, spiritually, and financially. As a not-for-profit organization, tuition prices are determined based on the cost to deliver an excellent educational experience for your student. It is our hope that every student who wants to be part of the Lightning Family has the opportunity to do so.

Financial circumstances are always difficult for families considering a Private, Christian High School education for their children. We make every effort to offer a fair tuition price as well as creative tuition assistance options.

FINANCIAL AID

Lake Country Lutheran has an amazing group of donors and supporters that give annually to the Lightning Fund. These donors allow families in need to receive financial aid. LCL uses TADS to assist with determining levels of donor funded financial aid for its families.

Please note, this entire process can take up to 2-4 weeks. Please apply early and give yourself enough time.

Complete the TADS Financial Aid application by April 15th
Upload all required documents as soon as possible. A W-2, 1040, debt documentation, and other tax forms will need to be submitted to TADS.
Both the application and all required documentation must be completed before a financial aid determination can be made.
Determinations are sent via an email from TADS.

The TADS Financial Aid Application can be completed after April 15th, however, the majority of financial aid will be awarded to those families that meet the April 15th deadline.

Potential New Family? Please Take Note:

New families may desire to know a financial aid amount early in the application process and prior to the completion of the most recent calendar year taxes. Conditional financial aid awards can be granted as soon as possible to new students. This process should be initiated through contact with the admissions director.

A TADS financial aid application can be submitted with a previous year tax return at any time. However, the most recent calendar year tax information will still need to be submitted to TADS by April 15th to verify that award amount. LCL reserves the right to change the financial aid award due to significant change in the financial situation of the family from year-to-year.

For further questions about the TADS application process or tuition assistance considerations, please contact the Director of Admissions, Mr. Carson Cantwell.

Partnership Congregation Discount
