Paying for Graduate School

The decision to invest in a high quality graduate education may be one of the most important decisions you will make. Lewis & Clark recognizes the challenge many students face in meeting the costs associated with a quality education. While the primary responsibility for paying for education rests with students and families, we are committed to working in partnership with students to develop financial options and payment strategies that will make a graduate degree from Lewis & Clark College an attainable goal.

Financing Your Education

Lewis & Clark's Student Financial Services (SFS) Office is dedicated to guiding you throught financial aid application process. The SFS website offers information about grants and scholarships, external scholarship opportunities, various loan programs, sample award packages, and the financial aid process.

In addition to financial aid, Lewis & Clark offers students the opportunity to set up a payment plan through Tuition Management Systems. For more information about financial aid and making a payment, use the links below:
