Financial Aid
Lafayette College can help you reach your ambitions, and we work to make our premier education accessible and affordable.
We believe financing a college education is a partnership between the student, their family and their higher education institution. At Lafayette College, our goal is for all admitted students to receive the financial aid for which they qualify in order to realize their educational goals.
We offer a variety of tools to help students and their families plan ahead for this investment to calculate an estimate of what your education might cost. Lafayette College is one of 73 institutions in the country that guarantees to meet 100% of demonstrated need for all applicants who meet the application deadlines. Lafayette also provides merit-based scholarships to a select few applicants.
Types of aid
Through grants, scholarships, loans, and work study, Lafayette is committed to helping students reach their personal and professional dreams.
Financial aid deadlines
Applicants are expected to keep to track of their submitted documents by going to the Financial Aid Tab on the Application Status Page.
Apply for aid
To apply for financial aid, you must fill out the College Scholarship Service PROFILE, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and submit tax returns for both students and parents through the College Board Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC).
Net Price Calculator
The Net Price Calculator (NPC) is designed to give you insight into how much and the types of financial aid for which you may qualify as a full-time, first-year undergraduate student in the academic year indicated. It is a tool that we hope will give you a picture of options and opportunities so you can make more informed decisions about your college choices.
MyinTuition is a tool that can help you anticipate your college costs and estimate your eligibility for need-based scholarships. An education at Lafayette College is more affordable than you think. This tool asks six basic financial questions and gives you an early estimate of the amount your family will need to contribute for one year at Lafayette College.
Federal cost of attendance
In order to comply with federal government regulations, all institutions of higher education are required to provide a detailed breakdown of the cost components used to determine eligibility for federal financial aid (Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loan, Federal Work Study). Actual expenses and costs billed by Lafayette College may differ from the amounts used below to calculate federal aid eligibility.

Policies and procedures
Financing options
We offer this advice when families are seeking financing options:
- Explore the monthly payment plan for short-term financing.
- If you must borrow, take full advantage of federal student and parent loans ahead of private loan programs, as they may have more favorable terms.
- All private education loans not certified by Lafayette must be reported to our office so that we may account for that funding in the financial aid package.
- Be cautious about unsolicited loan offers from direct-to-consumer marketing.
- You may choose any lender, but make sure you do your research.
Financial education & resources
LAFinancial is a financial literacy program established in 2016. LAFinancial offers resources which will help students create a goal driven financial process by becoming familiar with their personal finance, financing their education, and planning for the future.
