Lehigh University is committed to making a Lehigh education an attainable goal, regardless of your family's financial situation. There are several types of resources you can utilize to make a Lehigh education more affordable. Grants and scholarships are awarded based on need or merit, and these funds do not need to be repaid.
Lehigh provides significant amounts of grant and scholarship funding to students, and funds can also come from federal, state, or private organizations. Visit our website (www.lehigh.edu...) to learn more about grant and scholarship opportunities at Lehigh. Loans are awards that must be repaid, and can be awarded through the federal government, the state, Lehigh, or private banks.
Most student loans have deferred repayment, meaning you will not start paying the loan back until you are no longer enrolled in school. Student employment or work study programs allow you to earn money by obtaining a part time job on campus. Earnings are paid directly to the student via a paycheck, and can be used to pay for expenses not billed to your account such as books, food, or other personal items.
Student employment is readily available at Lehigh, so students have a variety of opportunities to earn their full awards. Grants and scholarships, loans, and student employment can help make a Lehigh education more affordable. Be sure to research these opportunities thoroughly. As always, our financial aid staff is here to assist you should you need help.
