Lyon College

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

For 2024-25, Lyon College reported undergraduate tuition of $29,900 and required fees of $1,100 for full-time students, with the same listed rates for in-state and out-of-state students. Reported typical room and board charges totaled $10,750, and books and supplies were estimated at $1,500.

Those items add to $43,250 for the academic year before transportation and personal expenses. This is a planning subtotal, not a complete cost-of-attendance budget or the amount every student will be billed. A commuter, a student with a different housing or meal arrangement, and a part-time student will have different costs. Lyon reported a part-time undergraduate tuition charge of $930 per credit hour for the same reporting period.

Published charges also differ from net price, which accounts for grant and scholarship aid in a defined student population. Reported average net prices ranged from $16,695 for families with annual incomes up to $48,000 to $23,391 for families above $110,000. These are group averages, not aid offers. Reported figures show that all students in the measured aid population received financial aid, while 64% borrowed student loans. Applicants should compare their own aid offer, including any loan amount, with a current itemized college cost estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lyon College?

Students considering part-time work at Lyon College should distinguish a Federal Work-Study award from an ordinary campus job. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students, generally determined through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); an award sets a potential earnings limit rather than paying the entire amount automatically.

Students normally must obtain a job and earn wages for hours worked. Campus positions outside Federal Work-Study may have different eligibility and funding rules. The financial aid office can explain whether a student's aid package includes work-study and where eligible positions are posted. Lyon's career resources - including job-search assistance, employer contacts, and résumé help - can support a search for work, but a job or internship should not be assumed to come with an aid award.
