Lititz Christian School students, families and employees receive special benefits from Messiah University.
Lititz Christian School is proud to be a part of Messiah University's K-12 educational partnership—named the Pathway Partners Program—designed to create mutually beneficial lifelong learning opportunities between Messiah and LC students, families and employees. See the accordion below for specific Pathway Partners benefits:
Messiah University works with LC to create dual enrollment opportunities during the spring, summer and fall terms to meet the needs of high-achieving LC students who want to take college-level courses that can satisfy both high school and college credit. Pathway Partner schools receive a 20% discount off our already competitive dual enrollment rate. Students are eligible for up to seven credits per semester at $120 per credit hour.
For more information contact Matt Reitnour, director of enrollment partnerships at Messiah University.
- Graduates of LC who attend Messiah University for a traditional residential undergraduate degree will be eligible for a $500 per semester scholarship. This scholarship will be applied each semester and is "stackable" with other aid. This scholarship is renewable for a maximum of 8 semesters (total up to $4,000). This scholarship cannot be used in cases where total institutional aid exceeds 100% of tuition.

The discount will be applied each term until the student graduates/completes the degree/certificate and for as long as the student remains in good academic standing. (Note: the 55% tuition discount is not "stackable" with other Messiah tuition discount programs.)
