To apply for an Entrance Scholarship or Bursary, you must have a completed and accepted admissions application to Luther College High School. Students who have not been formally accepted should wait for their acceptance letter before applying for a scholarship or bursary.
Please have all your required documentation ready before you submit your Entrance Scholarship application. Depending on the scholarship, this may include: a letter from a pastor, a character reference, proof of musical or athletic ability or proof of a rural address.
If you are applying for a bursary, you must complete your Apple Financial (third-party) application first. Your bursary application will not be considered until Luther College receives your Apple Financial report. Your Entrance Scholarship application is confidential and only used to make decisions regarding the awarding of entrance scholarships and bursaries.
Please choose the scholarships that you would like to apply for. You may choose more than one if you believe you meet the criteria for more than one scholarship. Successful applicants will only receive one scholarship or bursary (for example, you cannot receive both the Erna Huget Memorial Scholarship and the Dilawri Award).

The Luther College Community Bursary is awarded to deserving students with financial need who demonstrate academic achievement and a keen interest in learning, a positive attitude, proven leadership abilities and a strong desire to succeed. This bursary replaces most other forms of financial aid that Luther College High School offered in prior years. This bursary may cover up to the full tuition to Luther College High School (in consideration of the result of the Apple Financial assessment) and may continue through Grade 12 providing students maintain good academic standing, and continue to meet eligibility requirements, including the requirement to complete an Apple Financial Services assessment annually. The Luther College Community Bursary covers only tuition. It does not include fees related to IB, Film, Phys Ed, EAL, dorms, lunch or bus plans.
The Kramer Family Bursary was established by the Kramer family for Indigenous students who show academic promise but due to financial constraints and socio-economic factors would not otherwise attend Luther College High School. This bursary covers annual tuition fees, dorm fees and may provide for other additional costs provided the student maintains good academic standing. It is awarded to Indigenous students who demonstrate academic promise, a positive attitude, a willingness to work hard, and a student desire to succeed as well as financial need.
The Nelson Family Bursary is awarded to an academically-minded and well-rounded student who has demonstrated financial need. The bursary was established by Dwight and Christine Nelson in 2021. Their sons, Jeremy and Adam, both attended the high school. Dwight also served on Luther’s Board of Regents.
The Ritenburg Family Bursary is awarded to students who have demonstrated financial need and show a particular interest in the performing arts (music, dance or drama). It is a renewable bursary of $1,000 per year for up to four years (Grades 9 to 12).
