TUITION & FINANCIAL AID

 
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. 
 

Over 90% of students receive tuition assistance.

 
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.
 
For the current tuition at ML, you can complete the inquiry form (linked below) and select the option at the top "Learn about Tuition & Assistance".  An email with tuition information will be sent to you immediately upon submitting the form. Alternatively, please reach out to the Director of Admissions. We are happy to share this with you and learn more about your student.

"I wasn't originally planning to come to ML. Then I came to the Open House. The vibe of the school was just different. The people at the school really put family and the love for Jesus first and everything else second."

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 FACTS to assist with determining levels of donor funded financial aid for families.
 
Please note, this entire process can take up to 2-4 weeks.  Please apply early and give yourself enough time.  The FACTS 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.
 
Financial Aid Application Instructions
Please visit FACTS to log in or create your FACTS account using your username (email) and self-chosen secure password.  

Required Supporting Documentation to Complete Application Process:

    • Your most recent Federal Tax Return 
    • All W2 statements  
    • A most recent pay stub from each current employer.
    • Most recent corporate/partnership tax return and schedules (schedule 1, Schedule C, E, F, K-1, first five pages of 1120S and/or 1065 business tax returns, if applicable).
    • Documentation for all other sources of income (social security, welfare, food stamps, unemployment, child support, workers compensation, 2021 1099’s, etc.)
    • Outstanding debt (credit card, bank loans, education debt, etc.) documentation reported on application.

Please upload documentation as soon as possible. Please continue to check your email for any additional questions or required documentation requests from FACTS in order to complete the application process in a timely manner.

 

A FACTS 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 FACTS 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 FACTS application process or tuition assistance considerations, please contact the Director of Admissions (see contact information below).

PRIVATE SCHOOL CHOICE PROGRAMS

Martin Luther High School participates in the State of Wisconsin tuition assistance programs called Private School Choice Programs. These programs allow families who meet the household income requirements to have their tuition partially or fully funded by the state.   Interested families must complete an online application through the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and verify their current income level and residency.  For more information, see our Choice page.

STUDENT EMERGENCY FUND

Born out of the COVID-19 pandemic, we now have a fund specifically for families in desperate financial situations.  Similar to financial aid, this is donor-funded financial support.  Donors designed this fund to support returning students whose families are experiencing extreme financial circumstances. These are temporary financial awards and do not roll-over from year-to-year.  Please reach contact the Director of Enrollment for more information.  

WISCONSIN TAX DEDUCTION

Beginning with the tax year 2014, the State of Wisconsin has introduced a new legislation (Wis. Stat. § 71.05(6)(b)49), in which private school tuition payments paid on or after January 1, 2014 are now eligible for an annual income tax deduction. Qualified taxpayers may potentially claim up to the deduction limit for each dependent child in grades Kindergarten through 8th and up to the deduction limit for each dependent child in grades 9th through 12th. Tuition claimed must be paid in the tax year in which it is being filed.
 
You will need to access the tax form from Finalsite (formerly called SchoolAdmin).  To obtain your tuition payments, log into your Finalsite account and click the billing tab.  The tax statement is a link located within the ledger header. If you have any questions, Student Accounts can be reached at 414-261-0280.
