Financial Aid General Information

Lakeland University is committed to making a quality college education affordable. The university participates in federal and state grant and loan programs for students.

Financial need is defined by federal regulations as the difference between the cost of attending Lakeland University (tuition, books and supplies, housing and meals, personal expenses, and transportation) and the amount of money a student is able to contribute toward educational expenses. This student contribution is calculated from information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

To be eligible for financial aid, which includes federal loans, a student must be enrolled in a minimum of six (6) semester hours per term. For undergraduate students, Federal Pell Grant eligibility may be available at three (3) semester hours of enrollment.
