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

For the 2024-25 reporting year, published full-time undergraduate tuition was $36,750 for both Virginia residents and students from other states. Required undergraduate fees were reported as $0, but that does not rule out program-specific, optional, or individual charges.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $36,750 for 2024-25.
  • Typical annual room charge: $7,580.
  • Typical annual board charge: $6,530.
  • Estimated books and supplies: $1,000.

Those listed items total $51,860. This is a partial annual budget, not the university's full cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal spending, and any applicable course expenses would add to it. Students living off campus or choosing a different housing or meal arrangement will have a different budget. Graduate tuition and charges also follow separate schedules.

Published price is not the same as what a student ultimately pays. Financial-aid reporting shows that all students in the measured group received some form of aid, while 67% used student loans. Average net price - the cost remaining after grants and scholarships, not after loans - varied by family income. For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average was $18,303; for those above $110,000, it was $25,063. Neither average predicts an individual award.

Eligible students may use federal grants and loans, state assistance, and institutional scholarships, subject to each program's rules. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing the university's scholarship and aid instructions are the practical starting points. Military-connected students should also ask how eligible education benefits interact with other assistance before comparing offers.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Lynchburg?

University of Lynchburg students can pursue part-time employment while enrolled, and eligible students may be offered Federal Work-Study as part of their financial aid. Federal Work-Study is a need-based employment program, not a grant paid automatically against the tuition bill.

A student generally must complete the FAFSA, receive an eligible aid offer, obtain a position, and work scheduled hours to earn wages. An ordinary campus job may be available without a Federal Work-Study award; an internship, meanwhile, may be primarily an academic or career experience and is not necessarily paid. Applicants should check current openings, hiring requirements, and whether a position's hours fit their course schedule.

The university's career services include job-search resources, résumé help, interview preparation, and access to employer events. Those services can be useful to students seeking campus jobs or internships, but an aid award and a job offer are separate matters.
