Rest of the fee: There are two easy ways to pay: Either, pay in full (upon signing up), or in monthly payments (between signing up and the actual program).
Financing & Aid: Alumni often deem Lex one of the highest returns on investment in their educational path. Anyone can do it, and we offer many financing options, fundraising being one of the best. Learn more about financing and aid here.
