Lindenwood University

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

For 2024-25, Lindenwood reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $19,900 and required fees of $1,700 for both Missouri residents and out-of-state students. Those charges total $21,600 before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $21,600 for the academic year.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $12,402.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,400.

Adding those reported amounts produces $35,402, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation and personal expenses would raise the total, and an individual student's housing or course costs may differ. It also is not an estimate of what every student pays after aid. Reported average net prices after grant aid varied by family income, including $14,701 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $23,821 for those above $110,000. A net price is an average for a defined group, not a guaranteed award or bill.

Lindenwood reported grant aid across its undergraduate population, and its 2024-25 figures show that 49% of students had student loans. Eligible students may finance attendance through federal grants and loans, Missouri programs, institutional scholarships, and military or veterans education benefits, subject to each program's rules. Applicants should complete the current FAFSA when seeking federal or need-based aid and compare their individual aid offer with a current, program-specific cost-of-attendance estimate. A loan reduces the amount due now but must generally be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lindenwood University?

Lindenwood students can look for part-time employment as well as career-development support, but Federal Work-Study is not the same as an ordinary campus job or an internship. Work-Study is need-based federal aid: an eligible student earns wages through an approved position rather than receiving the full award automatically as a tuition discount. Job availability and hiring still matter.

Students seeking work should review their financial-aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and use the university's current student-employment listings and application process. Ordinary part-time positions may have different eligibility and funding rules. For longer-term career planning, Lindenwood reports individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job-search resources, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can support a search, but access to them is not a job offer and the university does not require an internship of every student.
