Apply to Lafayette
With a curriculum broader than most undergraduate colleges’, Lafayette encourages students to interact with faculty mentors to bridge traditional fields of study, explore diverse topics, and apply multiple viewpoints when solving problems. It’s an education that is active and connected to the wider world.
Launch Your Life
All the experiences you need to create your edge – intellectual cross-training, mentoring from star faculty, top internships and research, global study, hands-on problem solving, and connecting with a network of alumni passionate about Lafayette – are built into your four years. It’s a powerful platform from which to launch your life.
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- and merit-based 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.

“Challenges allow me to think outside the box and discover something new about myself in the process. I love being challenged because if someone challenges you, it’s because they know you can rise to the occasion.”
