<p>Although GT’s total endowment is slightly larger than Lehigh’s, $944 million to $886 million as of June 2009, more importantly - the endowment per student is 3 times higher at Lehigh, $128,000 to $49,000.</p>

<p>If you attend GT, plan to stay there a little longer than 4 years, as GT’s 4 year graduation rate is only 31% compared to Lehigh’s 72%. The 6 year graduation rate for GT is 77%, while Lehigh’s is 81%.</p>
