Check it out! Exciting news.
Great idea!
https://npc.collegeboard.org/student/app/lehigh indicates that a maximum financial aid student would see a net price of $5,700 (which Lehigh assumes to be $3,500 loan and $2,200 work). Potential applicants should use the net price calculator to get an estimate before applying, since Lehigh’s definition of “need” may not necessarily be the same as what one may expect.
Lehigh does use the CSS Profile, including non-custodial parent information for those with divorced or separated parents. Students with divorced or separated parents should include both parents’ income and assets when using the net price calculator.
I would be very interested to see the percentage of Pell grant students that end up attending Lehigh. If a decent number, THEN I will be more impressed with this exciting news.
I think it’s great and the loan cap especially.
Our commutable PSU branch leaves a $4k gap for a EFC 0 instate student (after grants).
This would include room and board at Lehigh and choice of more majors and 4 yr degree possibilities for a little more.
