Thank you for considering Emmanuel Lutheran School for your child’s Christian Education. Investing in your child’s education requires careful financial planning. ELS is aware that the cost of Christian education can be an obstacle for some families, so we have scholarship and financial aid options to help lessen the financial burden, which include, the NC Opportunity Scholarship, the NC ESA + Program, and ELS tuition assistance.

North Carolina’s Education Student Accounts (ESA+) program is available to meet the needs of students with disabilities. Funds may be used to pay tuition and fees for eligible private schools, and for expenses such as speech therapy, tutoring services, and educational technology.
Eligibility based on documentation of a disability and other program requirements
ELS offers financial aid in addition to what you may receive from NC Opportunity Scholarship and also for those families who do not qualify for the NC Opportunity Scholarship. You will need to create an account to apply for tuition assistance as this is different from your family portal account. There is an additional fee to apply for aid.
