Tuition and Financial Aid

Financial assistance

Making a Christian education affordable

2027–28 school year rates are coming soon.

Redeemer Lutheran Church and School is committed to supporting families spiritually, academically, and financially as they enroll their children here.  We put forth every effort to make our Christian education affordable for you; the cost of education should not prevent you from enrolling.  Redeemer offers financial assistance to help families who qualify based on need.  These awards are grants that do not need to be repaid.

Redeemer has a process for applying for assistance for those families who demonstrate need, which is defined as the difference between the amount of money a family can afford to contribute towards tuition and the cost of tuition.  Please contact Kathy Hand, khand@rlcsrams.com or Heather Cowles, hcowles@rlcsrams.com for more information on this process.

Florida school choice scholarships

Step Up For Students

Redeemer accepts Florida’s private school scholarships, which families apply for through Step Up For Students. According to Step Up For Students:

• Who qualifies: scholarships are available to all students, regardless of household income, who are Florida residents and eligible to enroll in a K–12 public school.
• How much: the scholarship is worth an average of about $8,000. It is offered through the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (FTC) and the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO), and amounts vary by county and grade.
• What it covers: tuition and fees at an eligible private school. Remaining funds can go toward other approved costs such as registration, books, and testing.
• Priority: renewing students come first, then households at or below 185% of the federal poverty level and students in foster or out-of-home care, then households between 185% and 400%.
• How to apply: families apply directly with Step Up For Students, not through the school. Step Up is taking sign-ups to be notified when applications open for the 2027–28 school year.
