Donor-Funded Tuition & Scholarships

 

Every student who wishes to join the Milwaukee Lutheran family receives a tuition reduction to bring the tuition balance to $12,750 for the 2024-25 school year. It costs us significantly more than $12,750 to educate your student, and the difference is funded by an amazing group of donors and supporters of Milwaukee Lutheran. The Lutheran High School Association of Greater Milwaukee is proud to be part of a community that supports each other emotionally, spiritually, and financially.

We hope that every student who wants to be part of the Milwaukee Lutheran Family has the opportunity to do so. Financial circumstances are always difficult for families considering a Christian High School education for their children.

We make every effort to offer a reduced tuition price and scholarship opportunities for students. 

 

DONOR-FUNDED FINANCIAL AID

Milwaukee Lutheran has an amazing group of donors and supporters who give annually to the Red Knight Fund. These donors allow families in need to receive financial aid. Milwaukee Lutheran uses FACTS to assist with determining the levels of donor-funded financial aid for families.
 
Please note, this entire process can take up to 2-4 weeks. Please apply early and give yourself enough time. The majority of financial aid will be awarded to families that meet the April 15 FACTS application deadline, but you can apply after April 15.
 
Financial Aid Application Instructions
Please visit FACTS to log in or create your FACTS account using your username (email) and self-chosen secure password.

Required Supporting Documentation to Complete Application Process:

    • Your most recent Federal Tax Return 
    • All W2 statements
    • A most recent pay stub from each current employer.
    • Most recent corporate/partnership tax return and schedules (schedule 1, Schedule C, E, F, K-1, first five pages of 1120S and/or 1065 business tax returns, if applicable).
    • Documentation for all other sources of income (social security, welfare, food stamps, unemployment, child support, workers compensation, 2021 1099’s, etc.)
    • Outstanding debt (credit card, bank loans, education debt, etc.) documentation reported on application.

Please upload documentation as soon as possible. Please continue to check your email for any additional questions or required documentation requests from FACTS so that you can complete the application process in a timely manner. 

A FACTS financial aid application can be submitted with a previous year's tax return at any time. However, the most recent calendar year tax information must still be submitted to FACTS by April 15 to verify the award amount. Milwaukee Lutheran reserves the right to change the financial aid award due to a significant change in the family's financial situation from year to year.
