LTU is a private university with the same reported full-time undergraduate tuition for Michigan residents and nonresidents. For 2024-25, reported tuition was $42,360, with $2,400 in required fees. Housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses are additional.
Those items total $59,118, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation and personal expenses have not been added. A commuter's housing and food costs will differ, and part-time students face a different tuition calculation. Published charges also differ from net price, which reflects grant and scholarship aid.
Financial aid can materially change the bill without eliminating it. In the reported aid figures, all students in the measured aid cohort received some form of financial aid, and 35% used student loans. For families in the $0-$48,000 income band, the reported average net price was $27,036; for the $75,001-$110,000 band, it was $33,632. These are group averages, not personalized quotes.
Eligible students can seek federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, as well as applicable Michigan aid and LTU institutional scholarships. Some students may also qualify for veteran or military education benefits. The practical comparison is an individual aid offer against a complete annual budget, followed by a check of scholarship renewal conditions and projected costs in later years.
LTU students can pursue part-time employment and use career services for help with internships and post-college job searches. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, is an opportunity to earn wages through qualifying work; it is not a grant paid automatically toward tuition.
Career support reported for undergraduates includes individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest testing, a job bank, job fairs, and on-campus employer recruitment. These services can help students identify openings and prepare applications, but their availability should not be read as a verified job-placement rate.
Students seeking work should distinguish among Federal Work-Study jobs, other paid campus positions, and internships for their academic program. Eligibility, pay, credit, and hiring procedures can differ. An aid offer and the university's student-employment listings are the appropriate starting points for determining whether a student has Work-Study eligibility and what positions are actually open.
