Albright College

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

For 2024-25, Albright reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $27,836 and required fees of $1,246 for both Pennsylvania and out-of-state students. Together, those published charges total $29,082 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

The reported typical annual room charge was $8,006, with a typical board charge of $7,170. Adding those typical housing and dining charges to tuition and required fees produces $44,258; it is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate, because other expenses remain. Housing type and meal-plan choice can change an individual bill, and students should use the charges for their actual entry year rather than assume the 2024-25 figures still apply.

Published price also differs from net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, and 74% had student loans. Because loans must generally be repaid, an aid offer is most useful when grants, loans, work-study, and the remaining family contribution are compared separately. Reported average net prices varied by family income; individual offers may differ substantially.

Eligible students may be considered for federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, and federal loans through the applicable financial aid process. Pennsylvania residents should check state-grant eligibility, while students using military education benefits should ask how those benefits coordinate with other assistance. The financial aid office can clarify application steps and which awards renew in later years.

What are the work-study opportunities at Albright College?

Students seeking part-time work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from other campus employment. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that allows eligible students to earn wages through an approved job; an award is not cash automatically credited in full to the tuition bill or a guarantee of a position.

Students can ask Albright's financial aid and student-employment staff how to find openings, whether a job requires a work-study award, and how many hours fit an academic schedule. Campus jobs and eligible community placements can provide income, while internships may have different pay and academic-credit rules. Students looking for experience tied to a major should compare job postings with the internship and career guidance available through the college.
