Financial Aid

LSTC is able to offer generous scholarships to students in all programs. Donations from individuals, churches, synods, and multiple foundations enable LSTC to provide scholarships at a higher level than ever before. We continue to bolster these programs to make theological education a reality for highly-qualified students who wish to pursue their calling.
