Financial Assistance
The Center for Religion and Spirituality at LMU Extension is committed to making continuing education affordable. Thanks to the generosity of the University, religious communities and the external community, we have scholarship and tuition assistance opportunities available to the general public for selected certificate programs. Please note that University Financial Aid is not available for continuing education and non-degree programs.
