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.

We encourage students to apply for outside scholarships, and any student receiving aid must report them to the College. Read more about outside scholarships.
