Cost Overview

Most Lehman families pay far less than the $7,410 sticker price. Students from households earning under $30,000 pay just $2,047 annually after aid. The average net price across all income levels is $3,482 per year. Over four years, that totals around $14,000 for a bachelor's degree. Even families earning $75,000-$110,000 pay only $9,173 annually.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $10,950, translating to monthly payments of $116. That's manageable against median earnings of $58,013 ten years out. About 61% of students receive Pell Grants, reflecting the college's mission to serve working-class Bronx families. Only 13% get institutional grants averaging $8,884, but the low base price keeps costs down.

First-generation college students and families earning under $75,000 get the best financial deal here. The combination of low tuition and substantial federal aid makes Lehman one of the most affordable paths to a degree in New York.
