• University Storm Recovery Updates

    UPDATE: Tuesday, Oct. 29, 8:30 a.m.
    We are pleased to announce that Wi-Fi service has been restored to the Asheville Center. Current students, faculty, and staff may now access the building for study, work or other necessary activities. Please note there may be occasional short outages as our service provider continues the recovery process.

    Drinking water is not available in the building. Some bottled water is available on site, but we encourage anyone using the building to bring their own drinking water if possible. The bathrooms on site now have working toilets.

    We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate the challenges posed by Hurricane Helene. Please stay tuned for further updates.

Providing Access to Possibilities

Undergraduate Cost & Financial Aid


College is a big investment in your future—personally, professionally and financially.

We offer options to help you make college more affordable, so you can feel confident and empowered about your decision to attend LR.

You will find that a Lenoir-Rhyne degree is recognized and respected by employers in the job market.

Making College Affordable

Value. It’s a small word, but it can mean big things. We would argue that the value of a Lenoir-Rhyne education far exceeds its price tag. We also recognize that a college education is often one of the most significant investments a family makes. In our view, affordability should not be a barrier to enrollment.

Every student deserves access to an affordable education. We have the resources to make it happen.

Types of Financial Aid


Ninety-nine percent of our undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid and Lenoir-Rhyne offers more than $30 million in financial aid to students annually.

We offer academic, merit, talent, need-based and other scholarships for all our qualified and deserving students.

Cost of Attendance


It’s the big question on every prospective college student’s mind: how much is tuition and room and board?

The cost of attendance is determined based on what financial aid you receive (scholarships, grants, loans, etc.) and your expected family contribution.

The most memorable part about my academic program is the amazing professors and their willingness to always be there for me and help me in any way they can, even after I completed the class.
