LIM College

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

LIM College charges private-college tuition, so the reported undergraduate rate is the same for in-state and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $32,644, with $860 in required fees, before housing and other expenses.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition: $32,644.
• 2024-25 required undergraduate fees: $860.
• Reported annual room and board: $21,026.
• Reported books and supplies: $900.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $1,088 per credit.

Adding the listed full-time tuition, fees, room and board, and books yields $55,430. That is an illustration using the reported amounts, not a complete individualized cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and program-specific charges could add to it. A commuter's housing and food costs may differ substantially from the reported room-and-board figure. Graduate tuition and per-credit rates are different from undergraduate rates.

The price after grants can still be substantial. Reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $36,686; for families earning $48,001-$75,000, it was $39,565. These are averages for income groups, not offers to a particular applicant. Reported aid reached all students in the applicable aid measure, while 62% used student loans - an important distinction, since loans must generally be repaid.

Eligible students may explore federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, applicable New York State aid, institutional scholarships, and military education benefits where relevant. The useful comparison is a current, individualized aid offer that separates grants from borrowing and shows both direct college charges and estimated living costs.

What are the work-study opportunities at LIM College?

LIM students can pursue work alongside their studies, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and academic internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through qualifying employment rather than a grant paid automatically.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA and check their individual aid offer, then ask the financial aid office how approved positions are advertised and hired. A student without a Work-Study award may still be able to apply for ordinary part-time employment, subject to employer requirements. An internship may provide academic credit, pay, both, or neither depending on its terms and the program's rules.

LIM reports career counseling for undergraduates, résumé assistance, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can help students search for work and internships, but availability of assistance is not the same as a job offer.
