Alum Success

Elaina Marinik

My education at Lake State taught me not only the basics of exercise science and health and wellness but prepared me for my future research career. I became involved in national organizations, improved my networking skills to create working relationships, and ended up with an amazing paid internship that turned into a 3-year research professional position at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, GA. Now in graduate school pursuing a doctorate degree at Virginia Tech, I rely on the knowledge I acquired at Lake State and put it to practice daily while discussing health-related topics in class or conducting obesity and inflammation research in our laboratory.

The Financial Aid Office establishes a Cost of Attendance budget each year as the basis of awarding financial aid for the academic year. These budgets reflect the “average cost” of attendance for an LSSU student.

If your actual expenses are higher, you may request a review of your budget for certain expenses.

Your LSSU Account Information

Your LSSU Student Account charges include direct costs such as tuition, room and board and other related fees. For a complete cost list and detailed payment information, go to www.lssu.edu/costs.

Once you are an admitted student, you will be assigned an Anchor Access Account where your personal Cost of Attendance budget will be shown. You can check your status at My.LSSU.

Student fee statements are sent electronically to your My.LSSU account. If you need assistance with your account please contact the Student Service Center at 906-635-2232.

"LSSU's size is perfect. I see familiar faces every day. There is a security and comfort in that. The professors are wonderful, and there is a lot of interaction in the smaller classes. The level of attention students get is the same as at a small private college, but at a great price." [ more ]
