Net prices by income band are medians within those bands; individual aid packages vary, so some families in each band pay more and some less than the figures shown. Lagrange College participates in federal need-based aid programs including Pell Grants and Direct Loans, supplemented by institutional aid. Families apply using the FAFSA to determine eligibility for need-based scholarships and grants. The college's aid structure aims to bridge the gap between sticker price and what families actually pay, though the affordability rank reflects both the headline cost and the debt load graduates carry. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $25,730, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $18,710; private or institutional loans may add further borrowing that falls outside these federal-only figures — see the Parent PLUS risk framework for how household context shapes PLUS decisions. For a graduate at the institution's median four-year earnings of $62,232, median federal debt of $25,730 projects to a monthly payment of about $291 under standard ten-year repayment.
