Financial Aid & Costs
We believe every student deserves access to an exceptional education.
That's why we provide access to grants, scholarships, loans and work study opportunities based on financial need and academic talent.
No matter your personal circumstance, there are many ways to finance your education, and we're here to help you every step of the way.
Your Education is Worth It
We understand that college is a big commitment, both personally and financially.
But we believe it's worth the investment.
Here at Lenoir-Rhyne, small class sizes ensure you get individualized attention and hands-on experience. That means you get a greater value out of the time you spend here.
Also, consider the return of investment in the long term. For every year you invest in your education, you're setting yourself up to make more money for years and even decades to come.
In addition to enriching your finances, an education at Lenoir-Rhyne also helps you develop values, character and experiences you'll take with you for the rest of your life.

Lenoir-Rhyne University uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine full financial aid eligibility. How to apply:
