Not necessarily. We encourage all students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) when it becomes available (October 1^st of your senior year in high school). This will help our office determine if there is any Federal, State, or other LR aid (scholarships, grants, loans, work study opportunities) for which you may be eligible.

You can file the FAFSA beginning October 1^st of your senior year of high school. To complete the FAFSA, you will need to create a FSA ID for both you (the student) and one parent in your household. Lenoir-Rhyne will provide your financial aid award letter after you have been admitted, so be sure you have completed your application with our Admission Office.

Most of your financial aid requirements can be completed online. Check your award letter for details about which sites to visit for each item. Since your aid may include Federal, State, and LR awards, you may need to go to multiple sites to complete all the items. You can also check your MyLR account for details if you are a returning or deposited student.

You can accept your aid simply by completing the requirements listed in your award letter. If you want to decline any aid, please contact our office to notify us of any change.

Outside scholarships almost always stack on top of the scholarships listed in your award letter. Your total financial aid package cannot exceed our Cost of Attendance (both direct charges like tuition and indirect charges like transportation to and from the University), so if your total scholarships approach your budget, we will try to work with you and the scholarship organizations to minimize the impact to your other aid.

Yes. The FAFSA is an annual form, so your Federal and State aid may be impacted by changes in the household. Dependent upon the type of aid you receive, you may need to re-apply each year. Be sure and check with one of our financial aid counselors if you have questions.

You are eligible for up to $20,500 per year in the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan program, provided you remain enrolled at least half time in a degree seeking program. If you need additional aid to help with your tuition or living expenses, you could consider either a Graduate PLUS Loan or an education loan through a private lender. Both have advantages and disadvantages (for example, private loans often do not have an origination fee, while the PLUS tends to have a lower fixed interest rate), so you may need to do some research to determine which is best for you.

As an adult learner, you are charged differently from our full time, traditional undergraduates. Because of this, you are not eligible for LR scholarships or grants, but you may still be eligible to receive a Pell Grant and a prorated version of the NC Need Based Scholarship. All students can apply for and receive outside scholarships that can also be applied toward their tuition.
