Lane College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Lane College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Lane College was $9,270 for both Tennessee residents and out-of-state students, with $2,520 in required fees. Together, those published charges equal $11,790 before housing, meals, books, transportation, or personal expenses.

• Full-time tuition and required fees: $11,790 for 2024-25.
• Typical room and board: $8,380 for the academic year.
• Books and supplies: $770 in the reported cost figures.

Adding those three reported categories produces $20,940, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation and other personal expenses would increase the amount. A commuter's budget may differ from a resident's, and a current-year bill may differ from these 2024-25 figures.

Financial aid changes what an eligible student pays. In 2024-25, 94% of students received financial aid and 67% had student loans; the reported average grant award was $11,608. An average grant is not an award that every applicant receives, and loans must generally be repaid. Applicants should complete the FAFSA, review Tennessee aid eligibility where applicable, and compare Lane's individual aid offer with their full living-expense budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lane College?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled should ask Lane College's financial aid and career offices about available campus jobs and whether Federal Work-Study appears in their aid offer. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid earned through eligible employment, not a grant paid automatically or a guarantee of a position.

Ordinary part-time jobs, Work-Study positions, and internships have different purposes and eligibility rules. Lane reports career-center resources including a job bank, job fairs, employer recruitment, résumé assistance, and interview preparation. Students should check where openings are posted, whether a position requires a Work-Study award, and how its hours would fit their course schedule.
