Financial Aid

Year after year, the value of a Lafayette education
is highly rated by PayScale and Bloomberg BusinessWeek, both for starting salaries after graduation and for 30-year return on investment.

At Lafayette, we understand the sacrifice parents and students make to cover the costs associated with attending an exceptional college. That’s why we budgeted nearly $60.1 million in financial aid for the 2020-21 school year. We are committed to helping students, regardless of financial circumstance, join their peers for an outstanding, globally-connected education.

COVID-19

  • Lafayette College applied for its first installment of CARES Act funding from the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) in the amount of $695,510. These funds are being provided by the federal government to directly support students facing urgent financial needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its disruption of campus operations.

Receiving financial assistance

More than half of our students receive financial assistance. We're here to help you understand all of your options, and guide you through the process of applying for grants, loans, and work-study opportunities. Our goal is for all admitted students to receive the aid they need to realize their educational goals.
