Hi there, congratulations on your acceptance to Lesley University! It's understandable that you're looking for ways to make attending more affordable. Here are a few suggestions to help you ease the financial burden:

1. File the FAFSA: If you haven't already, fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your eligibility for federal grants, work-study programs, and low-interest student loans. The financial aid package you receive from Lesley University might be impacted by your FAFSA results.

2. Research and apply for scholarships: Look for private scholarships that you may qualify for. Websites like Fastweb and Scholarships.com can help you find scholarships based on your background, interests, and achievements. Lesley University may also offer departmental or merit-based scholarships, so explore their website and contact their financial aid office for more information.

3. Apply for grants: Grants are another type of financial aid that you don't have to repay. You can check out federal and state grants by visiting the Federal Student Aid website and your state's education department website.

4. Consider work-study options: If you're eligible for work-study programs, they can help you earn money while you attend school. Check with Lesley University's financial aid office to see if there are any work-study opportunities available on campus or nearby.

5. Explore payment plans: Some universities offer payment plans that break down tuition payments into smaller installments. Contact Lesley University's financial aid office to inquire about any available payment plan options.

6. Attend part-time or online: It may be worth considering attending Lesley University part-time or taking online courses if it allows you to work and cover educational expenses simultaneously. Speak to an academic adviser to see if this option is feasible with your chosen degree program.

Remember, it's always a good idea to communicate with the financial aid office at Lesley University to discuss any concerns about affording your education. They may be able to offer additional guidance or resources to help you navigate the process. Good luck!
