Financial Considerations

Recognizing that the price for a liberal arts education is out of reach for many families, Lafayette offers over $35 million in need-based and merit scholarships to about half of the student body. These include the Marquis Scholarship, which provides $20,000 annually and other benefits to outstanding applicants. The College also assists others with payment plans, loans, and campus job opportunities.
