Cost Overview

Most Lehigh families pay far less than the $79,650 sticker price. The average net cost drops to $33,549 after aid. Families earning under $30,000 pay just $15,440 annually, while those making $110,000 or more face $50,046. Over four years, that ranges from roughly $62,000 to $200,000 depending on family income.

Engineering and business majors justify the investment with strong post-graduation earnings. Graduates earn a median $105,584 ten years out, making the typical $233 monthly loan payment manageable. The 88% loan repayment rate reflects Lehigh's career placement success. Only 38% of students need federal loans, and those who do graduate with a median debt of $21,960.

Lower-income students get the best financial deal here. Lehigh's generous aid packages make this strong engineering school surprisingly affordable for families earning under $75,000.
