  • University Storm Recovery Updates

    UPDATE: Monday, Sept. 30, 5 p.m.
    As of a few minutes ago, power has been fully restored to the Hickory campus. Every building should now have power and internet. In addition, internet is now available across the Columbia campus. 

    We have learned that our Asheville center facility received minimal damage and has power. However, the building does not have water or internet. We continue to identify options to support our students, faculty and staff in the Asheville area. 

    On Thursday, Oct. 3, at 7:30 p.m., the LR Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony Concert will perform its first concert of the year, “Skyward!” at P.E. Monroe Auditorium on the Hickory campus. This event was originally scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 1. If you can safely travel, we hope you can join us for a musical outlet for our community as we recover from Hurricane Helene. 

    Thank you for your continued support.

Providing Access to Possibilities

Undergraduate Cost & Financial Aid


College is a big investment in your future—personally, professionally and financially.

We offer options to help you make college more affordable, so you can feel confident and empowered about your decision to attend LR.

You will find that a Lenoir-Rhyne degree is recognized and respected by employers in the job market.

Making College Affordable

Value. It’s a small word, but it can mean big things. We would argue that the value of a Lenoir-Rhyne education far exceeds its price tag. We also recognize that a college education is often one of the most significant investments a family makes. In our view, affordability should not be a barrier to enrollment.

Every student deserves access to an affordable education. We have the resources to make it happen.

Types of Financial Aid


Ninety-nine percent of our undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid and Lenoir-Rhyne offers more than $30 million in financial aid to students annually.

We offer academic, merit, talent, need-based and other scholarships for all our qualified and deserving students.

Cost of Attendance


It’s the big question on every prospective college student’s mind: how much is tuition and room and board?

The cost of attendance is determined based on what financial aid you receive (scholarships, grants, loans, etc.) and your expected family contribution.

The LR community is welcoming and friendly. I am from England and coming to the U.S. to study was both exciting and daunting. However, I soon felt at home at LR, and it became my home away from home.
