Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
The professors are extremely knowledgeable in their fields and bring a great deal of experience to their classes. For instance, my international relations professor has published books, written for the Los Angeles Times, and been on NPR. The exposure that Lehigh grants is well worth it.
Stacy from Hope Valley, RI
While I don't know how my occupational opportunities will be yet, I do know that their records for having a set plan after graduation are very high (close to 100%). People in engineering know the name and reputation and have a lot to say about it. While all of this is 5-star worthy, it costs near $60,000 per year. Since they are a private school, financial aid is highly attainable, but for those who cannot get any, it is a lofty cost.
Tyler from Red Lion, PA
Lehigh is very expensive, but I realize I'm getting a great education, as well as the best four years of my life. Also, I believe the opportunities for my future after Lehigh will outweigh the costs to be here.
Samantha from East Northport, NY
In my experience with financial aid, Lehigh was one of the more generous private schools. However, their aid was not close to my EFC, which is somewhat disappointed me. But usually, Lehigh does a good job giving good financial aid packages. Despite not receiving what I expected, I got a generous grant from the school that covered more than half of my tuition. When it comes to financial aid appeals, Lehigh will not do a good job of giving out extra financial aid. They will most likely try to have you take out additional loans (Perkins and institutional).
Samantha
Honestly, Lehigh is very expensive, but the value of your degree and education there is well worth it. Also, students are spoiled and treated well as we are given many opportunities and free material items. The living situations are well taken care of and I never felt dirty on campus.
Kaitlyn from Chambersburg, PA
I received a $32,000 scholarship a year, Lehigh is $52,000 a year, so for the quality education it is, Lehigh did not give me one reason not to attend.
Haley from Northampton, PA
There are a couple minor things that I wish students were more able to do, but overall, you are definitely paying for quality. Lehigh's tuition and other costs are not cheap by any account, but having all assets of an adult life covered within a college campus makes the daily routine much easier to handle.
Matthew from Georgetown, DE
The dining halls only cost one swipe and are have great food for low price. There are also a ton of free events that give out free food and T-shirts every week that make like on campus that much more affortable. Moreover, the financial aid office is really close to students in working with them to reduce tuition cost as much as possible.
