Roosevelt University is committed to supporting current Lincoln College students affected by the recent announcement of the institution’s closure at the end of its spring semester.
To aid Lincoln College students in continuing their academic pursuits, Roosevelt will honor 2022-23 Lincoln College tuition rates and provide scholarship support to match room and board costs for those who want to live on the Chicago Campus. Roosevelt aid packages will aim to mirror students’ existing institutional aid for the upcoming academic year.
Roosevelt will personalize support to ensure the transfer process is as smooth as possible. The University will also waive any admission application fees and work with students one-on-one to maximize transfer credit.
“I was saddened to hear that Lincoln College would close after 157 years. The Roosevelt community empathizes with Lincoln students who have invested so much hard work into their education and were overwhelmed by this news,” said Mike Cassidy, vice president of enrollment management. “Roosevelt will make sure that students have a clear, affordable path to graduation.”
Roosevelt offers degrees in business, organizational leadership, criminal justice, health services administration, biology and exercise science. Transfer students can also explore any of Roosevelt’s 70+ majors.
