About Lakewood, New Jersey

Lakewood Township is the most populous township in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The earliest documented European settlement of the present Lakewood area was by operators of sawmills, from about 1750 forward. One such sawmill—located at the east end of the present Lake Carasaljo—was known as Three Partners Mill from at least 1789 until at least 1814. The Strand Theater, established in 1922, was designed by architect Thomas W. Lamb. (Wikipedia)

Modest institutional aid: 100% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $4,922. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 23 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.
