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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $26,790, with $1,580 in required fees for both Ohio and out-of-state students. Adding the reported $12,460 room-and-board charge produces $40,830 in those listed annual charges for a student living on campus. Books, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges would add to that amount.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $28,370.
  • Reported annual room and board, 2024-25: $12,460.
  • Reported part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $890 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

The published price is not necessarily what a student pays after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, 100% of students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 81% had student loans. The latter figure is a reason to examine the type of aid in an offer: loans must generally be repaid, unlike grants and scholarships. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $18,927, but an individual award may be substantially different.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Ohio assistance, institutional scholarships, and applicable military or veterans' education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing the university's own aid requirements are practical starting points. Ask for a current, itemized cost-of-attendance estimate and compare the resulting net price - including expected borrowing - rather than subtracting an average grant from a published price.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lourdes University?

Lourdes has reported career support including individual counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job fairs, employer recruitment, and an alumni networking option. These services can help students look for employment and internships, but they are not evidence that every participant obtains a job or placement.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, is an opportunity to earn wages through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically toward a bill. An ordinary campus job does not necessarily require Work-Study eligibility. Students comparing part-time work options should ask the financial aid or student employment office which positions are available, how to apply, and whether anticipated earnings are already counted in their aid plan.
