Luther Seminary

What is the cost of studying for a year at Luther Seminary?

Luther Seminary's reported full-time graduate tuition was $18,750 for the 2024-25 academic year, with $10 in reported required fees. Those figures are from that reporting year; they should not be treated as a current tuition quote or a complete cost-of-attendance estimate.

A student's budget also needs to account for housing, food, books, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs. Published tuition is different from the amount ultimately paid after scholarships or other aid. Applicants should obtain a current estimate for their degree and enrollment pace, particularly if they expect to study part time.

Financial aid may include institutional scholarships, eligible federal graduate student loans, outside awards, or qualifying military education benefits. Eligibility and application steps differ. Graduate applicants should review the seminary's aid instructions and, when seeking federal aid, the applicable FAFSA requirements before comparing offers.

What are the work-study opportunities at Luther Seminary?

Student employment may help some Luther Seminary students cover expenses, but a job is not the same as a scholarship or a guaranteed part of an aid package. Availability, hours, and eligibility depend on the position and the student's circumstances.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, ordinarily provides wages for work performed rather than an upfront reduction in tuition. Applicants interested in campus jobs should ask how openings are posted and whether any position requires Federal Work-Study eligibility. Ministry placements and internships should be evaluated separately for their academic requirements and compensation.
