Tuition & Financial Aid

Lincoln now publishes a dedicated 2026 tuition and fees resource, but exact totals vary by program and enrollment period.

• Diesel & Truck Service — $40,015 total
• Electrical & Electronic Systems — $32,965 total
• Medical Assistant — $23,751 total
• Medical Assistant Technology — $37,059 total

Because these are older published figures, students should use Lincoln’s current 2026 cost sheet rather than treating those amounts as today’s guaranteed price.

Lincoln provides federal financial-aid information, scholarships and other assistance for qualifying students. Current 2026 scholarship programs may require completion of the FAFSA.

The review count is large enough to be useful, but applicants should focus on recent feedback relating to the exact department they plan to attend.

Enrollment Tips

• Get the current 2026 tuition and fee disclosure for your exact program
• Compare diploma and associate-degree options before choosing the longer route
• Automotive and diesel students should ask which ASE-related certification opportunities are available
• Welding students should ask exactly which AWS SENSE modules can be completed
• Electrical students should research Indiana apprenticeship requirements before enrolling
• HVAC students should verify EPA 608 testing costs and procedures
• Compare financial-aid net price rather than sticker tuition alone

Bottom Line

Lincoln College of Technology’s Indianapolis campus is one of Indiana’s broadest private trade schools for automotive, diesel, collision repair, electrical, HVAC and welding. Its biggest advantage is the depth of its transportation training and large hands-on facilities. The main consideration is cost, so prospective students should compare Lincoln’s current 2026 net price against apprenticeships, Ivy Tech and other technical-school options before enrolling.
