Grants

Luther Grants are granted to students demonstrating financial need. These funds are provided by the college and are underwritten by gifts from Luther alumni to help ensure that current students receive the same kind of financial support and positive educational experience as the alumni. Awards vary and are based on ability, need, and fund availability. Recipients must be enrolled full-time (12 hours) at Luther College and be in good academic standing.
