COSTS AND AID
Compare the pathways, ask about aid, and build a cost picture that fits your program.
Compare Your Pathway
Start with the
published rates.
Your cost depends on the pathway you choose, how many credits you take, and the aid you qualify for. Start here, then build your personal estimate.
AA or BA through LPU
- $2,000 annual Bridge site fee
- $350 annual student technology fee
- Tuition total depends on your actual credit load.
Focused learning
- A smaller commitment than a full degree pathway.
- Confirm the certificate currently being offered.
- Ask whether materials or other costs apply.
College while in high school
- Equivalent to $100 per college credit through LPU.
- The Bridge currently lists a $150 one-time site fee.
- LPU says eligible students may earn up to 36 college credits.
Published rates are a starting point, not a personalized bill. Tuition and fees can change, and your final amount depends on enrollment, program requirements, financial aid, and other expenses. Confirm your current total with The Bridge College before enrolling.
WHAT CHANGES YOUR TOTAL?
Look beyond tuition.
Your real college budget is the combination of tuition, required fees, learning expenses, and the choices you make around living and transportation.
Credits you take
Degree tuition is based on your enrollment. More or fewer units changes your tuition total. Confirm your planned course load before using an annual estimate.
Required fees
Include the applicable Bridge site fee and university technology or student-service fees instead of comparing programs using tuition alone.
Books & course costs
Books, digital materials, and class-specific expenses can vary. Ask which costs are included and which should be budgeted separately.
Living expenses
Local students may live at home, while other students may explore host-family options through The Bridge. Housing, meals, transportation, and personal expenses should be considered separately from tuition.
Compare the amount you expect to pay—not just the tuition rate.
Financial Aid
Start with FAFSA.
Then keep looking.
Your published cost and the amount you actually pay may be different. Explore federal aid, LPU resources, and scholarships available through The Bridge.
Complete the FAFSA
FAFSA is the starting point for federal financial aid and helps LPU determine eligibility for certain forms of assistance.
