How Lutheran High School is Financed

Lutheran High School is owned and operated by seven Lutheran churches throughout Springfield and surrounding areas. As a private, non-profit religious entity, Lutheran High does not receive funding from any national, state, or local government agency. The funds needed to operate Lutheran High School come from three separate sources: church support, tuition and fees, and donations and fundraisers.

Association church members are eligible to receive a tuition grant from their church. The grant for the upcoming school year is $750 per student. LuHi will verify the student's membership with the church listed on their enrollment form. Returning student membership will be verified based on their previous church history. This grant may be rescinded by the Pastor for lack of church attendance or withdrawn by Lutheran High if tuition is in arrears.
