MAKING LCDS AFFORDABLE

We are committed to making An LCDS education available to applicants who strongly desire and are prepared to undertake a challenging educational program regardless of the family's ability to pay.

To help families with the cost of education, LCDS offers a variety of payment plans and a need-based financial aid program. Jarvis Merit Scholarships are also available. About 25% of LCDS students receive a portion of the $1.9 million of need-based financial aid that LCDS provides annually. Our commitment to providing financial aid means that we are sharing your investment in your child's education.

Every family, regardless of need, is asked to pay a portion of the tuition costs. The average financial aid grant is approximately $11,600. However, the amount of financial aid varies and is based on each family's unique situation, income, and circumstances.
