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.
