Tuition, Financial Aid & Scholarships

Supporting our Students

This is one of the most important investments you'll ever make, and now that you've narrowed down your college options, cost has become a factor.

We provide all of the educational and cultural benefits inherent in a private, liberal arts institution — at a price that's competitive with most public and private colleges and universities. Because financial aid must be applied for through Lakeland University in Wisconsin, we recommend you let your admissions officer know of your intention to apply early in the admissions process.

Financial Aid

Criteria for Application

LUJ operates as a branch campus to Lakeland University (WI), meaning that limited financial aid may be available to those who apply. Certain criteria must be met in order to be eligible for financial aid.

  • Application must be a U.S. citizen
  • Applicant must be accepted to LUJ as a full-time student (minimum of 12-credits per semester)

Any eligible LUJ student who intends to apply for financial aid must first contact the LUJ admissions office in order to begin the process. Our admissions officers will guide you through the steps and put you in touch with the appropriate administrator at the home campus. Financial aid is applied for, reviewed, approved and dispersed directly through the LU home campus.

For more information, contact the LUJ admissions office and begin the process.
