Costs & Aid

At Lehigh, we have a long-standing commitment to need-based financial aid and continually seek new ways to provide access to a Lehigh education for all admitted students.

At Lehigh, we have a long-standing commitment to need-based financial aid and continually seek new ways to provide access to a Lehigh education for all admitted students.

We encourage all applicants to file for financial aid. If you don't apply, you may miss out on a range of opportunities to help fund your education through loans, grants or even scholarships!

We're here to guide you through the financial aid process and to provide you with the information and resources you need to plan for funding your education.

Step 1: Review the types of aid available

Step 2: Find out what forms you need to submit and apply for Financial Aid by the appropriate deadlines

Step 3: Review your financial aid award if applicable and ask any questions to help you understand the award and make the best decision for you and your family

Lehigh University follows the Higher Education Act and National Association of College Admissions Counselors (NACAC) Statement of Principles of Good Practice (SPGP) and thus does not compensate our admission and financial aid professionals for securing enrollments or awarding of financial aid.
