Financial Aid

Lamar’s financial advisors identify resources to fund your education and extend the value of your investment in your degree. In addition to financial aid, we offer flexible payment options for students that don’t qualify for student financing. You may reach the financial aid office at 409-880-7011 or by email at FinancialAidAcademicPartnership@lamar.edu.

MyLamar, our student portal, provides access for payment, viewing emails, unofficial transcripts and more.
