Cost & financial aid brief
Lawrence Technological University Tuition, Costs & Financial Aid
How much does Lawrence Technological University cost after financial aid?
The average aid recipient sees the published cost reduced from $58,166 to an average net price of $32,918, a sticker-to-net gap of $25,248. Aid covers about 43% of the published cost for the average aid recipient, but that average does not describe every family’s package.
Pricing is lower for aid recipients in the lower-income bands, beginning at $25,980, than for those in the highest band, where the average net price is $37,492. The middle bands fall between those endpoints, so the pattern shows more aid reaching lower-income recipients alongside higher remaining prices as family income increases.
The income pattern and the average discount both show that aid changes the published price, but not to one uniform amount.
Lawrence Technological University carries a published cost of attendance of $58,166. Average net price, what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships, is $25,980 for the lowest-income family band, $27,036 for the lower-middle band, $28,082 for the middle band, $33,632 for the upper-middle band, and $37,492 for the highest-income band.
The spread between the lowest and highest bands is $11,512. Azimuth ranks the university #1,328 for affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions.
For the average aid recipient, aid covers about 43% of the published cost, an average savings of $25,248 against the sticker price. Among first-time full-time Title IV aid recipients, the average net price is $32,918.
That figure is $10,571 above the peer median of $22,347 at comparable institutions (same type and size). Published tuition and fees are $44,760, and the average price after aid remains above the peer reference.
Among federal-loan borrowers who completed, median federal student loan debt is $27,000, and 91.6% of federal aid recipients borrow federal loans. That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $307 a month if repaid over ten years.
The median is $2,000 above the $25,000 peer median at comparable institutions (same type and size). Median Parent PLUS borrowing is $54,800.
Student loans: what does repayment look like?
Federal borrowing is common at Lawrence Technological University, and its typical debt level sits above that of comparable institutions. 91.6% of federal aid recipients take federal loans.
Among federal-loan borrowers who complete, median federal student loan debt is $27,000. The peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), is $25,000.
Lawrence Technological University's median is $2,000 above that figure, so the borrowing picture is somewhat higher than its peer benchmark. For the separate population of parent borrowers, median Parent PLUS borrowing is $54,800.
The return picture is strong for Lawrence Technological University, though median borrowing is above that of comparable institutions. Federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled have median earnings of $90,760 four years after completion.
Azimuth places those earnings in the 94th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Earnings beyond expectations also ranks highly: graduates earn about $17,756 more than expects for similar students.
Azimuth places that measure in the 94th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions. Earnings scenarios range from $63,201 in a downside case to $99,640 in an upside case, with $90,760 as the typical scenario.
Median federal student loan debt at completion is $27,000, which is $2,000 above the $25,000 peer median at comparable institutions (same type and size). That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $307 a month if repaid over ten years.
High modeled earnings and above-expected results point toward return, even as borrowing is higher than at comparable institutions.
For the separate parent-borrower population, median Parent PLUS borrowing is $54,800. For student borrowers with median federal debt, that debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $307 a month if repaid over ten years.

How this estimate works
These are modeled earnings scenarios, not observed earnings percentiles. Annual student payments ÷ (earnings − basic-expense allowance). The starting allowance, $23,940, uses the published framework’s 2026 baseline; it is not a current local living-cost estimate. Change it for your budget, including taxes and other obligations. This combines school-level figures for illustration, not a typical individual’s budget or an official school rating. Parent PLUS is separate.
Payment assumptions
Payments are 10-year standard payments on the median balance, before loan fees, used as a yardstick. Rates for newly issued loans may differ, and loans made after July 1, 2026 can repay over a longer term; existing loans keep their original fixed rates.
