Invest in Your Child's Future

To fulfill our mission of forming our students spiritually, intellectually, and socially, we are dedicated to bringing Catholic education to families regardless of financial ability. The investment in an education at Lansing Catholic High School is one that never loses value.

We know that the total cost of a Lansing Catholic education is significant, and are committed to ensuring that every family who desires a Catholic education for their children can afford the investment. For the 2024-2025 school year LCHS awarded over $900,000 in tuition assistance to offset the actual cost of education. 

LCHS offers need-based tuition assistance through the third-party FACTS Grant Application. This year, 90% of our families who applied for grants received aid. The average award this year was $5,600. All admissions decisions are made separately from tuition assistance determinations. We strongly encourage every family that feels they need tuition assistance to apply. 

“I know everyone’s situation is different, but if you just go and talk to the school, in our experience, they are usually really willing to work with you. Just don’t say right off the top ‘we can’t afford it,’ without at least finding out, talking with the school, going in and asking some questions.” - Theresa M

Tuition Discounts and Grants

Catholic Parish Subsidy

If you indicated in your online enrollment packet that you would be receiving a tuition subsidy from your Catholic parish, your tuition plan will be based on that information. In order to receive that subsidy for the school year, you must contact your parish office for approval. The average parish student discount is $650. Please be aware of your parish’s procedures for handling subsidy requests.

All parish subsidy approvals are due to LCHS's tuition office by June 1 each school year.

Multiple Student Discount

A discount is available for families with multiple students in attendance at LCHS at the same time.

• 2nd Student attending receives $1000 discount
• 3rd Student attending receives FREE Tuition

Raise Right Program

Families may also participate in our Raise Right Program in which families can earn dollars toward tuition by purchasing gift cards earning a % back to be applied to tuition. The average Raise Right savings is between $200 and $500 per year.

Tuition Assistance from LCHS & the Diocese of Lansing

In the 2023-24 school year, Lansing Catholic distributed more than $865,000 to over 75% of our school families with an average grant of $4,800. All tuition assistance is applied for through our third-party FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment in order to ensure all dollars are distributed on the basis of financial need.

Families must apply through FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment by March 1st each year to be eligible for tuition assistance grants from both the Diocese of Lansing and Lansing Catholic High School. Select "Create an Account" as this is a different FACTS account from applications and the Family Portal. 

Families who have not yet made the decision to attend LCHS are encouraged to complete the Grant & Aid Application through FACTS so as not to miss the opportunity to receive the maximum tuition assistance.

As of 2018, families can use their 529 savings plans to pay for private K-12 education without penalty. Contact your 529 plan advisor for details.
