Lakewood University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Lakewood University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $10,104, with $375 in required fees, for a combined $10,479. The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same. Full-time graduate tuition and required fees totaled $12,879 for that reporting year.

A separate 2026 tuition listing gives a substantially higher figure of $53,046. Because that figure conflicts sharply with the 2024-25 undergraduate amount, applicants should not treat the two as interchangeable prices or combine them into one annual estimate. Request a current, written cost breakdown for the exact program, enrollment intensity, and academic year under consideration.

Tuition and mandatory fees are not a complete living-expense budget. Books, technology, transportation, and housing can affect the total even when coursework is online. For families with annual income up to $48,000, the reported average net price was $12,708; net price is an average after applicable aid, not an individual quote.

Financial assistance also varies by student. In 2024-25 reporting, all students counted in the aid measure received some form of financial aid, while 8% received student loans. The reported average grant award to undergraduates was $7,325. An applicant should review a personalized aid offer to distinguish grants, which generally do not require repayment, from loans and other assistance.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lakewood University?

Students interested in earning money while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through employment; an award does not itself mean that a job has been assigned.

Before relying on employment to cover expenses, applicants should ask Lakewood University's financial-aid office whether their aid package includes Work-Study, how eligible students locate positions, and whether remote students can perform them. They should separately ask about regular student jobs or internships, which can have different hiring and pay arrangements.
