Affording Lansing Christian School
If you’re considering enrolling your child at LCS, one of the biggest questions you may be asking is how to afford tuition.
Did you know that we offer various avenues for you to reduce the cost of tuition?
TUITION ASSISTANCE
Through our Tuition Assistance program, your family’s unique financial situation is carefully considered to help make Christian education more affordable. When families apply for tuition assistance, the total cost of tuition and fees for K–12 students may be reduced based on each family’s circumstances. We encourage families to apply if cost may be a barrier.

SCHOLARSHIPS
We offer Ministry Scholarships for families with a parent serving as a full-time ordained (or equivalent) minister and Pilgrim Scholarships for students who demonstrate exceptional leadership and community service.
Students must be enrolled for one year to be eligible to apply for Pilgrim Scholarships. Ministry Scholarship applications are available during the admissions process for eligible families.
TRANSFER DISCOUNT
For Middle School and High School students considering a transfer to Lansing Christian School, we offer a Transfer Discount. Download our Middle School Transfer Guide or High School Transfer Guide to learn more!
Through these initiatives, we’ve awarded over $600,000 in tuition assistance.
“We wanted to feel confident sending our children to a school where they would be safe, loved, and cared for. School is tough, kids are hard on one another, and we want our kids to grow while also knowing that they are being looked after by others who share similar values and beliefs and will foster positive growth. At LCS, the teachers and staff care so deeply for each child that it permeates the entire school experience (classes, clubs, sports, field trips). I firmly believe the long-term rewards will far outweigh the short-term cost.”

LCS Tuition Assistance Q&A
Families submit financial information through Blackbaud Financial Aid Management. A tuition assistance rubric is used to review each application and determine eligibility. Award amounts are based on factors such as income, assets, family size, and other relevant circumstances.
LCS has a generous Tuition Assistance budget, but funds are limited. Our first round of Tuition Assistance review begins in January, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Families who anticipate needing Tuition Assistance are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
Tuition Assistance is available for students entering kindergarten through 12th grade.
No. Applying for Tuition Assistance does not affect a student’s eligibility for admission and is not a factor in admissions decisions.
There is no “typical” income level. Because each family’s situation is different, Blackbaud Financial Aid considers multiple factors including income, assets, unusual expenses, and family size. As a result, families with a wide range of circumstances may qualify.
LCS offers a monthly tuition payment plan over 12 months (July–June). Families may also choose to pay tuition in full by July 1 and receive a 2% discount.
