Concordia University, St. Paul offers two generous tuition guarantees for its Church Work programs.
The Church Work Tuition Guarantee ensures eligible students enrolled in church work programs will pay no more than $6,000 in tuition each academic year.
The Church Work Pre-Seminary Tuition Guarantee allows all pre-seminary students (those church work students who are required to seek graduate education to pursue their vocation) to attend CSP tuition-free.
Who Qualifies for The Guarantee?
- Full-time eligible students enrolled in a church work program will receive the guarantee that the cost of their tuition will not exceed $6,000 each academic year.
- To be eligible, students must be an LCMS member, a U.S. citizen, and be pursuing their first bachelor’s in a Church Work program full-time.
- CSP institutional scholarships and Minnesota State and Federal Pell grants are included in The Guarantee (not in addition to).

Hear From President Friedrich
Learn more about CSP’s Church Work Tuition Guarantee from CSP President Brian Friedrich.
“When I was first told about the tuition guarantee, my jaw dropped. This is an extraordinary gift to current and future church work students like me that will continue to benefit us even after we begin the professional ministry to which God calls us. It is another example of the amazing dedication and care CSP faculty and staff have for their students, during and after our time at Concordia. They genuinely want us to succeed and this is a blessed demonstration of that, for which I am incredibly grateful.”
