Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

As an incoming student, when you see the price of attending Lasell University, you may gulp a little. Going to school here isn’t cheap. The total price includes tuition (in- or out-of-state), books, supplies, room and board, and other various charges. All of this comes out to around $56,500.

But the cost of attendance with financial aid could mean that the price for you and your family comes down quite a bit. After financial aid has paid its portion, what’s left is called the average net price. This is $28,404 on average. Families who have lower yearly incomes are eligible for more financial aid, so the cost will depend on this eligibility.

About 371 freshmen students requested financial aid. All of these students received financial aid averaging $25,095. And students who applied for institutional grants and scholarships received an average of $11,883.
