There’s no better way to feel the energy, or the endless possibilities of what a Lincoln education offers, than to visit. Lion Daily Visits consist of a presentation from one of our staff members and a 60-minute walking tour of campus. During the visit, you will learn more about academic programs, co-curricular opportunities, financial aid, campus life and more. Reservations are required and space is limited so don't delay!
Financial Aid can assist families with the cost of a Lincoln University education. If you would like to receive financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This will enable you to be considered for need-based federal and state grants, scholarship, loans, and work study. Lincoln's priority filing date for the FAFSA is April 1. Students who have completed a FAFSA by this date will be considered first for financial aid. Note: International students are not eligible to submit an application for Federal Student Aid.
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Financial aid award letters will become available on a rolling basis. The Office of Financial Aid will communicate any FAFSA issues through your email, postal mail or by phone. There are several factors that determine the amount and type of financial aid you are awarded, which includes financial need, timing of your application, willingness to accept various types of aid and availability of funds.
College education is one of the most important investments of your life. You will need to consider both the quality and cost of education. Have questions about financial aid? Let us know and we'll provide an answer as soon as possible.

All new first-year and transfer students to Lincoln must participate in Lion Linkup (summer orientation). During LLU, you will meet with students, faculty, and staff; begin to develop academic and co-curricular goals; become familiar with campus resources; and review campus expectation. Parents and families will also have programming to help them and their student adjust to their new college experience and expectations. NOTE: Dates for Summer 2025 LLU will be available in January.
For every student, financial clearance means demonstrating your intent to pay all tuition, fees, room, meal, and related charges for a given semester.
Financial clearance can mean different things for different students. For some, it may mean completing the FAFSA, and/or submitting proof that a third party such as the VA, Voc. Rehab, an employer, 529 plan, or other third-party payer is paying all or a portion of their semester charges. For others, it may mean creating a payment plan. Simply put, financial clearance means that each student should take the required steps necessary to either pay their charges in full or make arrangements to cover their total LU charges for the given semester.
