About $8,000 per year at Michigan Lutheran Seminary (WELS prep).

Roughly the same for Luther Prep - both totals are for dorm students.

Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary is about $12,000 per year.

Let's add that up, math students:
$32,000 for high school.
$52,000 for college.
$48,000 for seminary.
$132,000 for all three, but if a boy starts school this fall, the total will be much higher by the time he graduates. This total does not include scholarships or grants. I think loans to be forgiven for service would be a great plan.
Here is what I paid:
Augustana College, almost nothing - Illinois State Scholarship.
Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary - $150 per year for tuition, $80 per month for a furnished apartment. I could make tuition payments in two, $75 installments.
Yale - $2,000 for the year's tuition, furnished apartment - about $120 or so. Can't remember.
Notre Dame - free tution, thanks to a scholarship. A fellowship paid me $300 a month for a period of time.
I have given my figures to show that the current Lutheran leaders (all synods) went to school for almost nothing. Now they grab salaries and benefits for themselves while denying their members the same tuition subsidies they enjoyed. Plus - WELS pastors got all their tuition back upon graduation (a perk these guys took away).
