FINANCIAL AID

Lake Forest College financial aid applies to tuition and program expenses for students participating in the Program in Greece and Turkey. Further, given the increased costs of participation, students should talk to Jerry Cebrzynski, Director of Financial Aid, about adjustments to their aid packages.

NOTES

Students arrange their own international travel. Costs currently range from $600 to $800 or more round trip East Coast/Athens, depending on type of ticket, length of stay, route, day of week, etc. This cost is NOT included in estimates above.

Non-LFC students have additional fees for (1) transfer application ($20) and (2) student activities fees.
