Financial Aid Programs and Requirements
Scholarships and Awards
Tuition and Fees
Payment Procedures and Refund Policies
Regulations of both New York State (T.A.P./A.P.T.S.) and Federal programs of student financial aid require regular class attendance. Funds will not be delivered to students who do not maintain satisfactory attendance records. Financial aid regulations also require that students make satisfactory progress toward a degree. Students should be aware that all financial assistance awards are subject to student compliance with Federal, State, and/or College regulations concerning satisfactory academic progress and standing. Students withdrawing from courses should report to the Financial Aid Office for information on their eligibility for aid. Students on probation who make satisfactory progress will continue to be eligible for financial aid. All Federal undergraduate financial aid is limited to 150 percent of the credits required for the bachelor's degree. Minimum standards in satisfactory progress by students, adopted by The City University, are indicated in the charts in this section of the bulletin. For more information, visit www.lehman.edu/financialaid.
Financial Aid is available, in various forms, to full- and part-time undergraduate degree students. Information on application procedures and eligibility requirements may be obtained in the Financial Aid Office, located in Room 136 of Shuster Hall. Call 718-960-8545 or e-mail financialaid@lehman.cuny.edu.
Students who are delinquent and/or in default in any of their financial accounts with the College, the University, or an appropriate State or Federal agency for which the University acts as either a disbursing or certifying agent, and students who have not completed exit interviews as required by the federal Perkins Loan Program, the Federal Family Education Loan Programs, the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, and the Nursing Student Loan Program, are not to be permitted to complete registration, or issued a copy of their grades, a transcript of academic record, certificate, or degree, nor are they to receive funds under the Federal campus-based student assistance programs or the Federal Pell Grant Program unless the designated officer, in exceptional hardship cases and consistent with Federal and State regulations, waives in writing the application of this regulation.
Students who have not met all their financial obligations to the College will not be issued a transcript, certificate, degree, or grade until they have made all outstanding payments. Students will not be allowed to register for a new semester unless they have satisfied all previous financial obligations to the College.
Applicants must apply annually to the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (H.E.S.C.), Albany, NY 12255. The Higher Education Services Corporation determines the applicant's eligibility and mails an award certificate indicating the amount of the grant directly to the applicant.
The Tuition Assistance Program (T.A.P.) is an entitlement program: awards are noncompetitive, and any student who meets the criteria for eligibility will receive funds. The applicant must:
All income data are subject to verification by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. Undergraduate students may generally receive T.A.P. awards for eight semesters of study. The amount of the T.A.P. award is based on tuition charges and the student's New York State net taxable family income. To apply for T.A.P., students should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (F.A.F.S.A.) and the CUNY T.A.P./A.P.T.S. Supplement Form. Applications are required annually. The Lehman College T.A.P. code is 1412. For more information, visit www.lehman.edu/financialaid.
A.P.T.S. is a financial aid program for matriculated part-time undergraduate students. It is not an entitlement program, nor is it part-time T.A.P. To be eligible for A.P.T.S., students must enroll for a minimum of 6 but fewer than 12 credits/equated credits per term. To apply for A.P.T.S., students should complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid form (F.A.F.S.A.) and the CUNY T.A.P./A.P.T.S. Supplement Form. Applications are required annually. For more information, visit: www.lehman.edu/financialaid.
As of May 1987, if a student repeats a course in which a passing grade acceptable to the institution has already been received, the course cannot be included as part of the student's minimum full-time or part-time course load for financial aid purposes. When such courses are included in meeting the minimum requirement, they render the student ineligible for a State award. In the following instances, repeated courses may count toward full-time or part-time study: (1) when a failed course is repeated; (2) when a course may be repeated and credit earned each time.
Undergraduates who have earned at least 60 credits must file an Area of Concentration form (a major) in the Registrar's Office (Shuster Hall, Room 106) in order to receive any New York State awards.
V.V.T.A. and P.G.V.T.A. are awards for full-time or part-time New York State resident undergraduate or graduate degree students who served in the Vietnam or Persian Gulf wars. Full-time students receive $1,000 per semester or the amount of tuition, whichever is less. Part-time students receive $500 per semester or tuition, whichever is less. Total awards received cannot exceed $5,000. Recipients must also apply for the Tuition Assistance Program and Pell Grant awards. Applications are available in the Financial Aid Office.
A special application must be filed with the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation, Albany, NY 12255. Documentary evidence to establish eligibility is required with the application. The applicant must be:
(1) the child of a veteran who died, or who has a current disability of 50 percent or more, or who had such disability at the time of death resulting from U.S. military service during one of the following periods:

December 7, 1941-December 31, 1946
June 25, 1950-July 27, 1953
October 1, 1961-March 29, 1973
(2) a legal resident of New York State. Legal residence in New York State is also required of the parent at the time of entry into military service, or at death resulting from military service. The amount of the award is $450 per year, for up to five years.
Application forms may be obtained from the Native American Education Unit, New York State Education Department, Albany, NY 12230. The applicant must be a member of one of the Native American tribes within New York State and a New York State resident. The award is $1,100 per year for a maximum of four years of full-time study (or five years, where a fifth year is required for completion of degree requirements). Students must submit semester grades at the end of each semester.
Application may be made by filing the City University Freshman Application and indicating an interest in being considered for the program in section four of the S.E.E.K./C.D. Opportunity Programs section. The amount of financial assistance and other support provided to S.E.E.K. participants is based on need and fiscal availability.

The Pell Grant Program is an entitlement program for first degree undergraduates: awards are noncompetitive and any student who meets the eligibility criteria will receive funds. Application is made by filing a Free Application For Federal Student Aid (F.A.F.S.A.) via the Internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Lehman College's Federal Title IV code is 007022.
After the F.A.F.S.A. has been processed, a Student Aid Report (S.A.R.), which produces an Expected Family Contribution (E.F.C.), is electronically submitted to the Financial Aid Office. The amount of the applicant's award is based on the Expected Family Contribution, enrollment status, and the cost of education. Recipients must be enrolled as a first-degree matriculated undergraduate student. Students selected for verification must provide the Financial Aid Office with certain documents to verify the accuracy of the information reported.
Pell Grant awards are paid to eligible students for a maximum of 150 percent of the 128 credits required for the student's first bachelor's degree as long as satisfactory program progress and pursuit is maintained. For more information, visit www.lehman.edu/financialaid.
An eligible student may receive an Academic Competitiveness Grant of up to $750 for the first academic year of study and up to $1,300 for the second academic year of study. To be eligible for each academic year, the student must:
1. be a U.S. citizen;
2. be a Federal Pell Grant recipient;
3. be enrolled full-time in a degree program;
4. be enrolled in the first or second year of his/her program of study at a two-year or four-year degree-granting institution (such as CUNY);
5. have completed a rigorous secondary school program of study (after January 1, 2006 if a first-year student, and after January 1, 2005 if a second-year student);
6. if a first-year student, not have been previously enrolled in an undergraduate program; and
7. if a second-year student, have at least a cumulative 3.0 Grade Point Average on a 4.0 scale for the first academic year.
In New York State, a Regents Diploma with Honors or Advance Designation serves as evidence of a rigorous secondary school program. A student may also qualify through completion of a prescribed set of courses taken, or two Advance Placement (A.P.) courses with a minimum score of three (3) on the A.P. exams or two International Baccalaureate (I.B.) courses with a score of four (4) on the I.B. exams.
The prescribed set of courses must include four years of English, three years of Math (including Algebra I and higher-level courses, such as Algebra II, Geometry, or Data Analysis and Statistics), three years of science (including at least two courses from biology, physics, or chemistry), three years of social studies, and one year of a foreign language.
Most potential recipients will be notified by the U.S. Department of Education and will be given a Website link that will help them determine whether they have completed a "qualifying rigorous secondary school program." A student's college will then be notified and will verify eligibility. Students who are not notified by the Department of Education and think they may be eligible, should contact the Financial Aid Office to determine eligibility.
The U.S. Department of Education has created a new grant program for third- and fourth-year students who are majoring in math, engineering, or science.
An eligible student may receive a national S.M.A.R.T. grant of up to $4,000 for each of the third and fourth academic years of study. To be eligible for each academic year, a student must:
1. be a U.S. citizen;
2. be a Federal Pell Grant recipient;
3. be enrolled full-time in a degree program;
4. be enrolled in a four-year degree-granting institution;
5. major in physical, life, or computer science, engineering, mathematics, technology, or a critical foreign language (defined as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew and Semetic, and Russian); and
6. have at least a cumulative 3.0 Grade Point Average on a 4.0 scale in the coursework required for the student's major.
Under the S.M.A.R.T. Program, CUNY will identify Pell-eligible Federal student aid recipients who are majoring in physical, life, or computer science, engineering, mathematics, technology, or a critical foreign language. A Student's college will be able to provide information on which of its academic programs are designated by the Department of Education as eligible for S.M.A.R.T. grants.
For the National S.M.A.R.T. program, the amount of the grant, in combination with the Federal Pell Grant, other resources, and estimated financial assistance, may not exceed the student's financial need (cost of attendance, minus E.F.C., equals financial need). A student may not receive more than one S.M.A.R.T. Grant award in each academic year for which the student is eligible.
All annual award amounts for an academic year may be reduced if sufficient funds are not available for all eligible students nationally in an award year.
Grants are available to first-degree undergraduate students with exceptional need, enrolled for courses totaling at least 6 credits/equated credits per term. Application is made by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (F.A.F.S.A.) or via the Internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov. For more information, visit www.lehman.edu/financialaid.
To be eligible for a Federal Direct Student Loan, a student must be:
Students must also be registered for at least 6 credits/equated credits per semester. Freshmen may borrow up to $2,625 per academic year; sophomores, up to $3,500 per academic year; juniors and seniors, up to $5,500 per academic year. There is a maximum cap of $23,000 for an undergraduate education. Students may borrow at a relatively low variable interest rate, set each June. Repayment is not expected while he/she remains enrolled continuously at least half-time (6 credits/equated credits), and for six months after he/she ceases to be at least a half-time student.
For information regarding the unsubsidized Federal loan, which requires the borrower to pay interest while in school, consult a counselor in the Financial Aid Office. The F.A.F.S.A. Student Aid Report must be on file with the Financial Aid Office before a Federal Direct Student Loan can be processed. For more information, visit www.lehman.edu/financialaid.
Parents may borrow up to $4,000 annually for each dependent student at a variable interest rate with a 10 percent cap. Repayment begins 60 days after disbursement of the loan.
Application is made by filing a Free Application For Federal Student Aid (F.A.F.S.A.). Loans are available to matriculated students with exceptional need and who register for at least 6 credits/equated credits. Amounts that may be borrowed are $3,000 for each year of undergraduate study. Students' total undergraduate debt may not exceed $15,000. Repayment is at 5 percent interest and begins nine months after graduation or leaving school, and it may extend over a period of ten years. There are also certain cancellation provisions. For more information, visit http://www.lehman.edu/financialaid.
Application is made by filing a F.A.F.S.A.. The applicant must be matriculated and enrolled in courses totaling at least 6 credits/equated credits per term. Students may work up to 20 hours per week. Jobs are available on and off campus. NOTE: Students may not earn more than their Federal Work/Study award. For more information, visit www.lehman.edu/financialaid.
Application forms may be obtained from: U.S. Department of the Interior; Bureau of Indian Affairs; New York Liaison Office; Federal Building, Room 523; 100 South Clinton Street; Syracuse, NY 13260. To be eligible, the applicant must:
Application forms are available at all Veterans Administration (V.A.) offices, active duty stations, and American embassies. Completed forms are submitted to the nearest V.A. office. In New York City, the V.A. is located at 252 Seventh Avenue (at 24th Street), New York, NY 10001. Eligibility requirements, entitlements, time limits, and programs of education vary. Veterans with questions may inquire in the Office of the Registrar (Shuster Hall, Room 114).
Lehman College supports academic excellence with a growing network of scholarship programs and paid research positions for outstanding students. Inquiries about scholarships are welcomed in the Office of Scholarships, Shuster Hall, Room 205.
An Academic Achievement Scholarship Program is available for freshmen who are applying to Lehman College. Scholarships from $1,000 to a maximum of $4,000 per year are available to new students entering in the Fall semester. All freshmen who are admitted to Lehman are considered for Academic Achievement Awards. No separate application to the Scholarship Program is necessary for freshmen to be considered for the Award.
The selection process is competitive, and awards are made on the basis of an outstanding academic record. Freshman students are evaluated on the strength of their high school record and their score on the S.A.T.s.
The award is renewable for up to four years of full-time undergraduate study. With Lehman's full-time annual tuition of $4,000 a year, this scholarship, in combination with the New York City Merit Scholarship Award, the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (T.A.P.), and the Federal Pell Grant, should provide many students with the opportunity to complete their bachelor's degrees virtually free of charge and permit family education funds to be reserved for graduate and professional studies.
Potential recipients must file a City University Freshman Application and list Lehman as a college choice. The filing deadline for Fall semester consideration is in mid-March. Only those students who have been admitted to Lehman are considered for these awards.
As students progress in their studies at Lehman, they may apply to the following programs based on their academic achievement in college:
Minority Access to Research Careers (M.A.R.C.): The National Institutes of Health have awarded the College funds to provide a limited number of scholarships for students interested in pursuing the Ph.D. in the general area of biomedical research. This scholarship program is for students in their junior and senior years of study at the College. Students selected for this program work closely with faculty members on designated research projects and receive funds to travel to the national, Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students where they will present the results of their research projects. The current stipend is $10,956 per year plus tuition. Interested students should make application for this scholarship program during their sophomore year. Applications are available in the Office of the Dean of Natural and Social Sciences, Shuster Hall, Room 302.
Departmental Awards: offered for excellence in specific academic subjects and varying in amount and criteria for selection.
Tuition and fees are subject to change by action of the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York. Please consult the Bursar's Office, the Director of Admissions, or the Vice President of Student Affairs for a current schedule.
All fees and tuition charges listed in this Bulletin and in any registration material issued by the College are subject to change by action of the Trustees of The City University of New York without prior notice.
In the event of any increase in the fees or tuition charges, payments already made to the College will be treated as a partial payment, and notification will be given of the additional amount due and the time and method of payment.
The undergraduate Student Activity Fee or any part thereof is not refundable at any time, except when the student's registration is cancelled because of a withdrawal of a course or courses by the College.
A resident student is a U.S citizen who has had his or her principal place of abode in the State of New York for a period of at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes for the semester for which the residency determination is made and who states his or her intention permanently to live and maintain his or her principal place of abode in New York State.
A full-time undergraduate student is one who is enrolled for at least 12 credits or equivalent. (See below, under "Full-Time Status," for important exceptions.) A part-time student is one who is enrolled for fewer than 12 credits or equivalent.
For each student, the tuition and fees due depend on whether he/she will attend full- or part-time, whether or not he/she resides in New York State, and whether he/she is or is not matriculated.
All fees, tuition charges, credits, and course hours listed are subject to correction in the event of error. All fees, calculations, and repeat billings are subject to correction in the event of error. Students will be obligated to pay the correct amount.
The schedule of tuition fees applies to all scheduled semesters, regardless of duration, subject to such special tuition fee rates as may be established by the Board of Trustees of the City University of New York. The same policy applies to summer session, except that there is no maximum tuition. Summer session students must pay for all credits or credit equivalents taken. A child of a member of the permanent staff of The City University of New York, or a child of a deceased or retired member of such staff who had served for more than five years on an annual salary, or a child of an employee of The City of New York or of a city agency who is required to live outside the State of New York in the performance of his or her official duties shall be charged resident rates. The resident rate shall be applicable to a student of another college or university, that grants, in exchange, resident rates to a student of a college within The City University of New York. Evidence of satisfactory educational qualifications must be presented, and the approval of the President of such college within the City University is required.
All recipients of financial aid should be aware that this aid is based on the personal and financial information that the student provides to Lehman College. In the event that a student is determined not to be eligible, in whole or in part, for any expected financial aid for which he or she has applied, he or she will be held fully responsible for payment of any monies that are due the College for registration. If students withdraw, either officially (by filling out a withdrawal form in the Registrar's Office) or unofficially (by no longer attending classes) from any course or courses for which they have registered and a reduction in aid occurs, the student will be held personally responsible for payment of any monies due to the College.

Matriculated part-time students: $170 per credit, plus $87.50 **
Non-degree students: $250 per credit, plus $145.00* (for 12 or more credits) or $87.50** (for fewer than 12 credits)

** Includes $35.00 Student Activity Fee, $15.00 Consolidated Fee, and $37.50 Technology Fee per semester.
All students who attend full-time, as defined above, pay tuition at the full-time rate.
Students may pay their tuition and fees with the following options: cash, money order, credit card (Visa and MasterCard only), bank check, traveler's check, or personal check (students paying by check should make the check payable to Lehman College). Payment can be made by mail, in person, drop box (do not deposit cash), fax, or submitted via the Web (using eSIMS). The College will not accept second-party checks. The College will not accept a personal check from any student who has previously tendered a check that was returned by his/her bank.
If a student has an outstanding financial obligation that may be owed to Lehman College or any of its affiliated corporations, Lehman College officers or their designees are authorized to act as the student's agent to endorse and negotiate any checks that he/she may be entitled to receive from any source of financial aid: Federal, State, City, public or private, College or other, to the extent that such authorization shall be used to fulfill this obligation. This authorization is effective as long as there is an outstanding balance owed for any semester.
Students who do not make full payment on their tuition and fees and other College bills, and whose accounts are sent to a collection agency, will be responsible for all collection costs, including agency fees, attorney fees, and court costs, in addition to whatever amounts the student owes the College. In addition, non-payment or a default judgment against the account may be reported to a credit bureau and reflected in the student's credit report.
Financial aid: Matriculated students who are recipients of financial aid must present proof of their awards at the time of registration. They will be required to pay any difference if the financial aid does not fully cover the amount due. All recipients of financial aid should be aware that if they fall below full-time enrollment because of withdrawal or cancellation of a course or courses, they may no longer be entitled to their financial aid. Students who use T.A.P., Pell Grant funds, or any other financial aid toward meeting their financial obligation should consult with the Financial Aid Office about any impact on their current semester entitlement and future semester awards. Students who are not eligible for financial aid must pay tuition and fees in full on the day of registration.
Students who anticipate using an employer voucher for payment of their registration should verify with the Bursar's Office the acceptability of the voucher prior to registration. Vouchers must provide for immediate payment when billed and cannot be dependent on grades received for the term in question.
The Student Activity Fee, Consolidated Fee, and Technology Fee, or any part thereof, is not refundable at any time except when the student's registration is canceled because of withdrawal of a course or courses by the College or the student totally withdraws prior to the start of classes and is granted a 100 percent refund of tuition. No portion of any special fee, parking fee, and any fine or penalty fee is refundable.
Withdrawals are processed in the Office of the Registrar (Shuster Hall, Room 114), accompanied by the applicant's Bursar's receipt. The date on which this form is completed and filed, not the student's last day in class, is the official date of withdrawal that serves as the basis for computing a refund. Non-attendance in classes does not waive the tuition liability a student incurs at registration. Any student who is unable to file for withdrawal from a course in person may do so by mail. The official date of withdrawal will be the date the withdrawal is received in the Registrar's Office(Shuster Hall, Room 114). The interval between a properly executed application for a refund and receipt of a refund check is usually five weeks. Students dropping courses will be refunded according to the refund schedule below. Students may receive a 100 percent of tuition refund for voluntarily withdrawing from a class up to, and NOT including, the first day of classes (not the student's first day in class). THE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES IS NOT THE FIRST DAY OF THE STUDENT'S CLASS BUT, RATHER, THE COLLEGE'S OPENING DAY OF CLASSES FOR THE SEMESTER OR SESSION.
As a result of the Higher Education Reauthorization Act, students who are recipients of Federal financial aid are subject to one of the following Federal Refund Policies:
*Federal Title IV Funds Information: Prorata Refund (subject to change): Effective Fall 2000, CUNY is following the new Federal regulations on the return of Title IV funds. Federal Prorata refunds will no longer be applicable for first-time and continuing students. The College will calculate how much Title IV aid has been earned by the student based on the period of attendance. The unearned portion of the Title IV funds must be returned to the Department of Education by the College and the student.
*Subject to change
All students are subject to the following tuition refund schedule approved by the Board of Trustees:

The following policies apply to students who leave CUNY to fulfill military obligations.
I) Students called up to the reserves or drafted before the end of the semester:
II) Students who volunteer (enlist) for the military:
III) Other Provisions for Military Service:
Lehman College courses generally carry a credit value equal to the number of weekly contact hours. In certain courses—generally developmental or compensatory in nature—the number of weekly contact hours may exceed the credit value. These additional contact hours are designated "credit equivalents" or "equated credits." For courses with credit equivalents, tuition is charged on the basis of contact hours and not of credits. Even if a course offers no credit, it is nevertheless billed according to contact hours. The maximum semester rate applies to these courses alone or in combination with credit-bearing courses.
Lehman College estimates that apart from tuition, fees, and room and board, students should budget for an additional $4,328 per year, allocated as follows: books and supplies, $832; personal and incidental items, $1,660; transportation, $816; lunches, $1,020. International student matriculants who are attending Lehman on a student visa must pay for private medical insurance.
Nursing students registering in clinical courses will have the additional expenses of a uniform, health insurance (unless they are covered by their parents' policies), and malpractice liability insurance. Prior to registration in clinical courses, nursing students also are required to undergo a number of medical tests at their own expense. (For further information, consult the Department of Nursing.)
Bursar Validation is required to complete term registration. All students must submit a signed Bill or Payment Form (zero balance included) to the Bursar's Office by the due date. The Bill or Payment Form can be mailed, faxed, submitted via the Web (using eSIMS), or delivered to the Bursar's Office or drop box. All course selections that are not validated by the due date will be cancelled.
Nonrefundable, but payable only once at the time of filing application for admission to any City University college
