Pricing strategy is one of the important aspects of managing Islamic educational institutions because it is closely related to financial sustainability, the quality of educational services, and affordability for the community. This study aimed to analyze the concept of pricing strategy in Islamic education, particularly in the implementation of tuition fees, scholarships, cross-subsidies, and the principle of social justice. The study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method through a review of various relevant scholarly articles and academic sources, particularly publications from the past five years. The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically by identifying concepts, comparing research findings, and synthesizing various findings regarding Islamic education financing strategies. The results of the review indicate that pricing strategy in Islamic education should not only be oriented toward meeting the financial needs of educational institutions but should also consider students’ economic capacity, service quality, transparency, efficiency, accountability, and institutional sustainability. Tuition fees should be determined based on reasonable educational costs and accompanied by scholarship mechanisms, cross-subsidies, and fee reductions for students with limited economic resources. Furthermore, diversifying funding sources through waqf, zakat, infaq, sadaqah, government assistance, and community participation can reduce institutions’ dependence on tuition fees. Therefore, an appropriate pricing strategy in Islamic education is a strategy that is able to balance the financial sustainability of educational institutions with the principles of justice, public benefit, and equal access to education in order to achieve social justice.
