To apply for need-based financial aid at Lawrence University, students must complete all applicable requirements listed below. Click here for options on how to submit documents.
To apply for Lawrence need-based aid, please submit either the CSS Profile OR the Lawrence Financial Aid Application.
If Lawrence is the only school on your list that requires a supplemental financial aid form, then please complete the Lawrence Financial Aid Application (it’s shorter and easier to complete than the CSS Profile).
If you’re applying to other colleges that require CSS Profile, then please save yourself the time and simply send your CSS Profile to Lawrence. There is no need to complete the Lawrence Financial Aid Application.
If you are not completing the CSS Profile for another college, complete this application.

Complete this requirement if your biological or adoptive parents are divorced, separated, or were never married. The FAFSA and Supplemental Financial Aid Application are completed with the parent you lived with more during the last 12 months (this parent is your "custodial parent" when applying for financial aid). The other parent is the "noncustodial parent." Need help determining who your custodial parent is? This nifty chart should help.
Complete one of the following:
Your noncustodial parent should submit the Lawrence Noncustodial Parent Financial Aid Form (PDF) to the Financial Aid Office. Note: we will also accept the CSS Profile (Household B) in lieu of the Noncustodial Parent Financial Aid Form.
If you have no contact with your noncustodial parent, submit the Noncustodial Parent Form Waiver (PDF).
