Admitted Students

There’s no better way to feel the energy, or the endless possibilities of what a Lincoln education offers, than to visit. Lion Campus Tours are offered as traditional walking tours for families and groups as well as a drive-thru tour experience. Reservations are required to participate in all available forms of Lion Campus Tours.

The Family Tour Experience

During your 60-minute walking tour of our beautiful campus nestled in Southern Chester County Pennsylvania, an admission ambassador will discuss our academic programs, co-curricular opportunities and more. There will also be opportunities to ask questions and learn about next steps in the admissions process. 

The Drive-Thru Experience

An undergraduate admissions team member will lead your family through a guided tour of our beautiful 422-acre campus and highlight all of the places where you'll learn and live as well as the numerous opportunities available to you. You'll gain a sense of place and proximity as you experience our campus, all from the comfort of your vehicle. 

Financial Aid can assist families with the cost of a Lincoln University education. If you would like to receive financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This will enable you to be considered for need-based federal and state grants, scholarship, loans, and work study. Lincoln's priority filing date for the FAFSA is April 1. Students who have completed a FAFSA by this date will be considered first for financial aid. Note: International students are not eligible to submit an application for Federal Student Aid.

In order to confirm your intent to enroll, you will need to submit the non-refundable $275 enrollment fee. This fee secures your place at Lincoln and is credited to your housing reservation or student account. All new incoming students are required to pay the enrollment fee.

For every student, financial clearance means demonstrating your intent to pay all tuition, fees, room, meal and related charges for a given semester.

Financial clearance can mean different things for different students. For some, it may mean completing the FAFSA, and/or submitting proof that a third party such as the VA, Voc. Rehab, an employer, 529 plan, or other third-party payer is paying all or a portion of their semester charges. For others, it may mean creating a payment plan. Simply put, financial clearance means that each student should take the required steps necessary to either pay their charges in full or make arrangements to cover their total LU charges for the given semester.
