Alabama A & M University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Alabama A & M University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $10,024 for Alabama residents and $18,634 for nonresidents. Those published charges are only part of an annual budget: housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses can materially change what a student needs to finance.

• Alabama-resident undergraduate tuition: $8,610; required fees: $1,414.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition: $17,220; required fees: $1,414.
• Reported annual room and board: $7,992 combined.
• Reported books and supplies: $2,192.

Adding the reported room-and-board and books figures to tuition and fees gives $20,208 for a resident or $28,818 for a nonresident, before transportation and personal expenses. These illustrative sums are not the university's complete cost-of-attendance budgets and do not account for aid. Actual housing choices and course materials can also differ.

Financial aid changes the comparison. In the reported aid data, the average net price for families with annual income of $48,000 or less was $16,387. Net price reflects costs after applicable grant and scholarship aid for the measured students; it is not a quoted price for every family. About 90% of students received financial aid, while 75% had student loans in the reported measures. Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, state and institutional assistance, scholarships, and military education benefits through the financial aid process. A personalized aid offer is more useful than either sticker price or an institutional average when judging affordability.

What are the work-study opportunities at Alabama A & M University?

Alabama A & M students can look for part-time employment alongside their studies, including positions connected to campus operations. Federal Work-Study is a distinct form of need-based financial aid: eligibility depends on a student's aid application and award, and an award does not automatically place the student in a job.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the required federal aid application, review their award information, and ask the financial aid or student-employment office how openings are posted and hiring works. Ordinary part-time jobs need not be Work-Study positions. Internships, meanwhile, may be paid or unpaid and can have academic or career-development requirements of their own.

For students pursuing longer-term career experience, the university reports career counseling, employer recruitment, job fairs, and employer resume referrals. An internship is not required of every student; requirements should be checked within the particular major.
