Cost Overview

Families at Lane College pay around $14,494 annually after financial aid, making this historically black college surprisingly affordable. Over four years, students can expect total costs near $58,000. Nearly 80% of students receive financial aid, with the same percentage qualifying for Pell Grants.

Graduates leave with median debt of $30,500, translating to monthly payments of $323. That payment represents about 12% of typical alumni earnings of $31,670 ten years after graduation. The college awards institutional grants averaging $10,154 to one-third of students. Room and board adds $7,610 to annual costs.

Low-income families get the strongest value here. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay the same net price of $14,494, meaning Lane covers most expenses beyond tuition through federal aid. The Dragons offer particularly good deals for Tennessee residents pursuing education or liberal arts degrees at this CME-affiliated institution.
