FINANCIAL AID
PHILOSOPHY
Recognizing the significant investment students and families make when
choosing a private college, LaGrange College offers a variety of
assistance and payment options. We expect students and families to use
a combination of scholarships, grants, loans and work to meet college
costs. These resources may come from family, college, community, and
state or federal sources. Payment plans are available to distribute
required payments over the course of an academic year or for longer
terms using Federal loan programs. We encourage students to apply for
financial aid and scholarships as early as possible to maximize eligibility
access to all available types of assistance.
