Looking for the Best
What’s best is what meets the customer’s needs. The same is true in choosing a college or university except that there are more factors to consider and it’s harder to evaluate those factors than it is to kick a few tires.

We know not all students and families have the exact same financial situation. That’s why we encourage you to read through all the examples in this section – you may find parts of several examples that resemble your situation.

At our Lutheran colleges and universities, we know that every student is unique – and that family situations differ greatly. That’s why every one of our member colleges has active, responsive programs for student financial aid to help you make attending a Lutheran college an investment you can manage.

We also know that the sticker price for higher education can be daunting. With that in mind, we thought that it might be helpful for you to see some of they ways in which individual students have received financial aid. You will see how our member colleges respond to the needs and resources of individual students and their families. Keep in mind that the cost of attendance will vary from college to college.

The simplest framework for understanding need based financial aid is:

Total Cost of Attendance
(tuition, room and board, books and expenses)
Minus
Expected Family Contribution
(EFC- determined by FAFSA and Profile)
Equals
Demonstrated Need
