At Lewis University students receive a private education at Lewis University for less than the cost of a state or public university. As part of the Catholic and Lasallian Mission, Lewis University provides values-based education for qualified students. Students who wish to use Lewis University financial aid must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The university tends to bring in the best students and in order to make the educational cost structure more affordable, it provides financial aid to the students who require them. You can also receive supplemental funding in addition to the scholarships and grants.
The main requirement for financial aid is to fill the FAFSA form and the Lewis University FAFSA code is 001707.
Lewis University has provided aid to 85% of the students and the total aid amount received by the student is $59,790,439.
Types of financial aid provided by Lewis University:
Grants
Unlike student loans, grants typically do not have to be repaid. It is simply money that financially needy students may qualify for to help pay for educational expenses. This is a great type of financial assistance.
Federal Pell Grant
A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Pell Grants are awarded usually only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or a professional degree. Pell Grants are considered a foundation of federal financial aid, to which aid from other federal and nonfederal sources might be added.
Federal SEOG
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is designed to provide additional assistance to students. To be eligible, a student must complete the FAFSA, have the lowest EFC possible, and be enrolled full time. Funding for the SEOG grant is limited, so apply as soon as possible.
Illinois Monetary Award Program (MAP Grant)
A need-based state grant to students who are residents of Illinois. Yearly awards received by the students range between $450 to $4,720.
Federal Work-Study Program
This program offers on-campus or off-campus community service work programs partially funded by the federal government. Awards are made based on a student's financial need as determined by the FAFSA. Work-study jobs are coordinated through the Office of Financial Aid Services. We currently have over 500 students employed through Work Study.
