Making Quality Christian Education Affordable for Families
Tuition Assistance
Bethlehem Lutheran School seeks to provide tuition assistance to those students in grades K-8 whose family can provide documentation of need. Bethlehem Lutheran School Endowment Fund (BLSEF) is our tuition assistance program, which enables us to assist students who could not otherwise afford to attend. Each family whose child is enrolled at BLS is expected to participate in at least a portion of the annual tuition expense.
Please inquire at the school office for information about financial aid.
