The school offers a pretty good financial aid program. However, every year you attend, tuition increases. Most students receive a lot of financial aid, however the price of tuition sky rockets after the first year.

Lake Forest College isn't cheap, and with tuition increases, it costs about $47,000 a year to attend. However, the college is top-ranked for its financial aid, and most students here receive some grant or scholarship from the school. The education that you receive here, however, is well worth the sticker price.

The tuition is pretty steep here, because it is a private institution but they offer some of the best financial aid packages in the country and try to work as best they can with each individual student to make it as affordable as possible.
