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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $27,504 for both Kentucky residents and out-of-state students, with $304 in required fees. The reported typical annual room charge was $3,772, and the board charge was $6,610.

  • Undergraduate tuition and required fees: $27,808 for the reported academic year.
  • Typical room and board charges combined: $10,382 for the reported academic year.
  • Those two categories combined: $38,190, before books, transportation, personal expenses, and other applicable costs.

That combined figure is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget or a prediction of an individual bill. Living arrangements, course load, program charges, and aid can change what a student pays. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $1,146 per credit hour; students considering that route should check how their enrollment level changes aid eligibility.

Reported average net prices after aid differed by family income. For students in the $0-$48,000 income band, the figure was $10,966; for the $75,001-$110,000 band, it was $17,208. A net-price average describes a group, not an individual award. The most useful comparison is an applicant's own aid offer against a full budget that includes indirect expenses.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lindsey Wilson College?

Eligible Lindsey Wilson students may finance part of their education through grants, scholarships, loans, and paid work. Federal Work-Study is a need-based student employment program, not a grant automatically deducted from a tuition bill: a student ordinarily earns the money by working an approved job.

Students seeking federal aid should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, and review Lindsey Wilson's instructions for institutional scholarships and any Kentucky aid for which they qualify. In 2024-25 reporting, all undergraduates in the measured aid group received some form of financial aid, while half had student loans. Receiving aid does not mean receiving enough grant assistance to cover the full cost.

A work-study award should not be confused with a guaranteed job or with an internship required for a major. Students can ask the financial aid office how to find approved positions, whether ordinary campus jobs are open to students without work-study eligibility, and when wages are paid.

Career development is a separate service. Reported offerings include individual and group career counseling, résumé help, interest testing, interview workshops, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Students can use those services to explore majors or prepare applications, but their availability is not an employment outcome.
