The Lutheran High School Association of Greater Milwaukee is proud to be part of a community that supports each other emotionally, spiritually, and financially. As a not-for-profit organization, tuition prices are determined based on the cost to deliver an excellent educational experience for your student. It is our hope that every student who wants to be part of the Spartan Family has the opportunity to do so.
Financial circumstances are always difficult for families considering a Private, Christian High School education for their children. We make every effort to offer a fair tuition price as well as creative tuition assistance options.
Please note: We are in the midst of switching admissions systems to improve the experience for our families. We now use SchoolAdmin for all applications, enrollment, and billing
. We will help all returning families make the switch to SchoolAdmin for tuition billing in the Spring of 2022. Please reach out if you have any questions or feedback as we continue to improve the admissions process for our families.
Donor-Funded Financial Aid
Martin Luther has an amazing group of donors and supporters that give annually to the
Spartan Fund. These donors allow families in need to receive financial aid. Martin Luther uses
TADS to assist with determining levels of donor funded financial aid for its families.
Please note, this entire process can take up to 2-4 weeks. Please apply early and give yourself enough time. The TADS Financial Aid Application can be completed after April 15th, however, the majority of financial aid will be awarded to those families that meet the April 15th deadline.

Required Supporting Documentation to Complete Application Process:
-
- Your entire 2020 Federal Tax Return (2021 when available and per deadlines)

- A most recent pay stub from each current employer.

Please continue to check your email for any additional questions or required documentation requests from TADS in order to complete the application process in a timely manner.
A TADS financial aid application can be submitted with a previous year tax return at any time. However, the most recent calendar year tax information will still need to be submitted to TADS by April 15th to verify that award amount. Martin Luther reserves the right to change the financial aid award due to significant change in the financial situation of the family from year-to-year.
For further questions about the TADS application process or tuition assistance considerations, please contact the Director of Enrollment Management, Abbie Amling (see contact information below).
Partnership Congregation Discount
Martin Luther High School is supported by 30 congregations of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod who are fundamental in creating communities rooted in Christian values, and inspiring and shaping students through an education in Christ. These churches support our high school ministry by giving chapels, being present on-campus, offering youth groups, praying for our families, through financial support, and governance of our organization. Spartan families who are members of these congregations receive a tuition discount of up to $2,000 per year. To see if your church is on the list or if you would like to become a member at one of these churches, check out the list below.
