Office of Financial Aid

The purpose of financial aid is to help you attain your goal of a Lesley University Education, by offering financial assistance in the form of grants, loans, and student work opportunities. Please be assured that despite the current economic situation, the Office of Financial Aid remains very vigilant and has been proactive in assuring that both federal and private educational loan options are available to students.

Important Announcement: Effective December 11, 2008, Lesley University has chosen to participate in the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. All new Stafford Loans borrowed by Lesley University students are Federal Direct Stafford Loans. This decision was made in response to the recent instability of private financial institutions and their increased fee rates associated with student loan programs. Please visit our Stafford Loan page for more details.

Who Should Apply?

We encourage all students considering a program of study at Lesley University to apply for financial aid. Pursuing a higher degree is a worthwhile investment, but we understand that the associated expenses may seem daunting. Don't let finances deter you from pursuing your education. All students who fulfill basic eligibility requirements are eligible for some type of financial aid.
