Scholarships and Financial Aid

Lees-McRae College is committed to the principle that an excellent liberal arts education is one of the best investments a family can make.  Today, our commitment to affordability has never been stronger.  Oftentimes prospective students and their parents believe that attending a private college or out-of-state college is too expensive.  At Lees-McRae we do not charge any additional fees to out-of-state students and many of our currently enrolled students will tell you that it is just as affordable to attend Lees-McRae College as to attend a public university. 

Over 95% of Lees-McRae College students receive financial assistance.  Only one form is needed to start the process after you have been admitted to Lees-McRae - the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).  Complete the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov and include the Lees-McRae College school code of 002939.

"The Lees-McRae College Financial Aid Staff is dedicated to providing students and their families with friendly, efficient, and responsible financial services, while complying with all federal, state, and institutional policies . We are here to support you and to help you make an informed decision about investing in your education."
