Affordability
LC State offers a better degree at a better price.
With many of our students first generation, 45% low income, and 82% receiving financial aid, Lewis-Clark State College is committed to keeping college affordable.
Pay Less: LC State is proud to offer the lowest tuition among Idaho's public four-year institutions. And we're also proud of the fact that 82% of our students, many who begin great careers right after graduation, pay down their school debt within five years. The national average is 62%.
Make More: The typical college (bachelor's degree) graduate will earn roughly $900,000 more than the typical high school graduate over their working life.
