TUITION &
FINANCIAL AID
Lock Haven University’s affordable two-year
Associate Degree programs for in-demand
careers can fast-track you to a great paying career.
And because it’s LHU, your college degree is
within reach.
Nearly 9 in 10 Lock Haven University students
benefit from about $48 million in annual financial
aid support. LHU’s cost of attendance is among
the lowest in the Commonwealth, thanks to
affordable tuition, need-based federal Pell Grants,
Pennsylvania State Grants, LHU scholarships and
institutional grants, plus work-study and access to
subsidized federal student loans.
Still, the need is great.
That’s why LHU is doing more to put higher
education with reach of every qualified student,
especially in times when families are struggling.
We’re working hard to make even more need-based
aid and scholarship support available for the
2019-20 academic year. And we’re finding ways to
stretch every student dollar, such as our plan to cut
textbooks costs.
It makes sense for our students and our community:
College graduates earn more, spend more,
contribute to the tax base, and rely less on
government assistance.
Get started on planning your affordable
degree at LHU.
