St. Paul Lutheran School - Tuition & Financial Aid
Personalizing a Christ-Centered Education that Develops the Whole Child
At St. Paul, we strongly believe that Christian education is more than a commodity, it is a ministry!
The school has been the main mission of St. Paul Lutheran Church from within the first year of its establishment. St. Paul Lutheran Church provides up to $250,000 annually through needs-based scholarships to provide a solid Christian educational foundation to children in Leavenworth County. These needs-based financial aid scholarships represent opportunity for children to grow in faith and education. We want to work with you to make sure a private, Christian education is an accessible option for your family.

Our goal is that money will not stand in the way for qualified families.

The sooner you apply and submit all required paperwork along with the enrollment fee, the sooner an award may be granted.

Other Scholarship Opportunities
Families who qualify may be able to apply to these independent scholarship granting organizations for additional tuition assistance.
All families can apply to both foundations, listed below, through the KSDE website. Although there is an option to apply for multiple within a single application, we suggest applying for each foundation separately. Applying utilizing the “multiple scholarship” feature may delay and even derail your application with both foundations.
Both St. Paul Lutheran School Foundation and Kansas Lutheran Schools Scholarship are independent scholarship granting organizations (SGO). St. Paul Lutheran School is unable to confirm any grant awards. Please reach out to these foundations directly, should you have any questions.
