Lesley University strives to make its unique private university experience as affordable as possible.
In undergraduate education, in 2014, Lesley was a leader in “re-setting” its tuition, reducing undergraduate tuition rates to a level significantly below its competitors. Since then, the university has worked to ensure that it remains one of the least expensive private universities among competitors. In addition, 95% of our first-time undergraduate students receive financial aid.
In graduate education, Lesley also works to ensure that it remains at the lower to mid-range of competitors, having not raised tuition for several years during the pandemic. Lesley also periodically analyzes the market for its graduates to ensure that its average student financial loan is supported by reported compensation levels for the most frequently pursued professional positions. In our graduate programs, scholarships and grants are also available, with 58 percent of graduate students receiving financial support.
Our financial aid office is dedicated to individually working with families to make customized awards and the dream of a Lesley education a reality.
