Lenoir-Rhyne University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Lenoir-Rhyne University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $31,000, with $900 in required fees, for both in-state and out-of-state students. Reported annual room and board was $13,600, and books and supplies were estimated at $1,360.

Adding those reported items gives $46,860 for a residential student, but that is not a complete individualized cost of attendance: transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific charges may add to the budget. A commuter's housing and food expenses will differ, and a student's actual bill depends on their housing, meal plan and enrollment.

Published charges are also different from net price, which accounts for grant and scholarship aid. Reported average net prices varied by family-income group; for families with annual income of $48,001-$75,000, the figure was $17,209. That average is not a quote for a particular applicant. Lenoir-Rhyne reported that all students in the relevant aid measure received some financial aid, while 56% received student loans. Applicants should distinguish grants that need not ordinarily be repaid from borrowing that does.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, applicable North Carolina aid, and institutional scholarships by completing the financial-aid process, including the FAFSA where required. Veterans and eligible dependents should have the university review how military education benefits apply to their program. A personalized aid offer and full cost-of-attendance budget are more useful for comparing colleges than tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lenoir-Rhyne University?

Lenoir-Rhyne students may be able to pursue campus jobs, including Federal Work-Study positions for those who qualify through financial aid. Federal Work-Study is a need-based employment program: an award indicates potential eligibility, not a guaranteed job or money paid in advance. Students ordinarily must obtain a position and earn wages for hours worked.

Students who do not qualify for Work-Study can ask about other campus openings. A campus job may provide income and experience, but it is different from an internship that awards academic credit. Lenoir-Rhyne's career support includes individual and group counseling, résumé and interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events and alumni networking. Students can use those services to explore work and internships without treating them as a guarantee of employment.
