Lincoln Memorial University

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

For 2024-25, LMU reported the same full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students: $26,448, plus $490 in required fees. Published tuition and fees are only part of an annual budget; housing, food, books, transportation and personal expenses can substantially change the total.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $26,938.
• Reported typical room and board for an academic year: $12,565 combined.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,500.

Those reported amounts sum to $41,003 before transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific charges. They are a planning illustration, not an individual financial-aid offer or a complete cost-of-attendance figure. A commuter's housing costs may differ, and clinical or professional programs can have substantially different budgets.

Financial aid changes what a student may actually pay. In the 2024-25 reporting, all students in LMU's reported aid cohort received some form of financial aid, while half had student loans; aid is not synonymous with a grant. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $19,977. Average net price also varied by family income: it was $18,799 for the lowest reported income band and $30,464 for the highest. These are group averages, not quotes for an applicant.

Eligible students may combine institutional scholarships with federal grants, Tennessee aid, loans or military education benefits, subject to each program's rules. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the starting point for federal aid. Applicants should compare LMU's current itemized cost of attendance and their own aid offer, separating grants and scholarships from money that must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lincoln Memorial University?

LMU students seeking part-time work should distinguish Federal Work-Study positions from other campus jobs and from internships. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program; eligibility depends in part on the FAFSA and an award, and an award does not itself place a student in a job.

Students can ask LMU's financial aid and student employment offices how positions are advertised, what application steps apply and whether jobs are available at their program's campus. Ordinary part-time jobs need not be federally funded, while an internship may carry academic credit or professional requirements instead of - or in addition to - pay.

Career support is a separate consideration. Students should ask the office serving their degree program about appointments for career planning, résumé and interview assistance, internship searches and employer events. Access to those services should not be confused with a verified job-placement rate or an offer of employment.
