Financial Aid at Lakeland

College Is More Affordable Than You Think

Choosing a college is a big investment, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. At Lakeland University, we're committed to making a private education affordable for every student.

Through scholarships, grants, financial aid and flexible payment options, we'll help you maximize every opportunity to reduce your college costs.

Our Financial Aid team will work one-on-one with you and your family to explain your options, answer your questions, and build a personalized financial plan that fits your needs, so you can focus on your future, not the cost.

Every student's cost of attendance varies

Depending on program type, housing status, and financial aid eligibility

Main Campus (Full-Time)


No student pays more than

$18,000

No Student Pays More Than $18,000 For Tuition!

Tuition does not include other college expenses such as housing, meal plans, books and supplies, transportation and personal expenses.

Evening/Online (Adult)

No student pays more than

$550/credit

Tuition can look different from school to school, but many students find Lakeland’s bachelors degrees require fewer total credits — helping them finish sooner and reduce overall costs. Many students also qualify for discounts or employer tuition reimbursement to help make earning a degree even more affordable.

Graduate Student

No student pays more than

$750/credit

Tuition can look different from school to school, but many students find Lakeland’s masters degrees require fewer total credits — helping them finish sooner and reduce overall costs. Many students also qualify for discounts or employer tuition reimbursement to help make earning a degree even more affordable.
