FINANCIAL AID
A Central Lutheran education is affordable.
CLS understands that each family situation is different. We make every effort to accommodate each family’s financial needs. An outside firm analyzes applications and makes recommendations on the amount of aid to distribute to a family.
CLS recognizes that the primary responsibility for funding a student’s education rests with the student’s family. All requests for financial aid are handled with strict confidentiality. Financial aid is distributed as tuition assistance to qualified families based upon need.
Financial aid sources that are available include:
• CLS Tuition Assistance
• SGO Scholarships
• School Choice Scholarships (Voucher)
• Church Member Grants
Families can also lower their own tuition costs by making everyday purchases through our SCRIP program and keep costs low for everyone by participating in other incentive programs.
