Financial Aid Example: Benjamin

Having been privately educated for most of his life, Benjamin’s family knew the value that a Lutheran college could possess. They recognized the benefits of smaller class size and a highly educated faculty.

After all, that’s why they had Ben enrolled at a private high school in Connecticut, where he earned a GPA of 2.6 and had SAT’s of 1140. Unfortunately, years of paying private tuition costs had completely depleted the family resources. If a Lutheran college was going to become a reality, financial aid would have to be a necessity for Benjamin.
