What is the cost of studying for a year at Agnes Scott College?

Agnes Scott charges private-college tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $50,264, with $340 in required fees. Those figures are a dated benchmark, not a quote for a later entering class.

  • 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $50,604.
  • Reported typical annual housing and dining charges: $13,905 combined.
  • Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,000.

Together, those reported items amount to $65,509 before transportation, personal expenses, and any other applicable costs. That calculation is an illustration using the stated figures, not the college's complete individual cost-of-attendance estimate. Housing choices and meal plans can change the bill. A separate later tuition figure of $52,212 has also been reported, which is one reason applicants should use the published budget for their own entry year rather than combine prices from different years.

Financial aid can make the amount a student pays substantially different from the published price. In 2024-25 reporting, all students in the measured aid group received some form of financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award from combined sources was $38,052. About 53% received student loans; loans must generally be repaid, unlike grants. Reported average net price was $21,956 for families with annual income of $48,000 or less and $30,054 for families above $110,000. These are averages for defined groups, not personalized aid offers.

Potential funding sources include federal grants for eligible students, federal loans, Georgia aid for eligible residents, and institutional scholarships or grants. Veteran and military education benefits may also apply to qualifying students. Applicants should check the college's current aid forms and priority dates, then compare their own aid letter and full cost-of-attendance budget - including travel and personal expenses - before estimating what they would need to pay or borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Agnes Scott College?

Agnes Scott students can seek part-time employment and career-development support, but a campus job, a Federal Work-Study award, and an internship are different opportunities. Federal Work-Study is need-based student aid earned through eligible work; receiving an award does not mean wages are paid in advance or that a specific job is guaranteed.

Students considering Work-Study should check their financial-aid offer, then review current job openings and hiring instructions through the college's student-employment resources. Ordinary part-time jobs may be available without Work-Study eligibility. In either case, work schedules need to fit classes, and expected wages should not be treated as a substitute for aid already credited to the tuition bill.

The college's career services include individual and group career planning, interest exploration, résumé assistance, interview preparation, employer events, and alumni networking. Students can use these services to look for internships and jobs whether or not they hold a campus position. An internship is not reported as a universal graduation requirement.
