Auburn University at Montgomery

What is the cost of studying for a year at Auburn University at Montgomery?

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees were $9,700 for Alabama residents and $21,460 for out-of-state students. Those totals combine tuition with required fees; they do not include housing, food, books, transportation or personal expenses.

• Alabama-resident undergraduate tuition: $8,832; required fees: $868.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $19,800; required fees: $868.
• Reported typical annual room charge: $4,680; board charge: $8,487.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,500.

The room and board figures are components of living costs, not charges every student pays to AUM. A commuter may have different food and housing expenses, while a residential student's actual charges depend on the room and meal plan selected. Transportation and personal expenses also belong in a full cost-of-attendance budget.

Published charges are different from net price, which accounts for grant and scholarship aid in a defined student population. The reported average net price was $12,309 for students from families with annual income up to $48,000 and $13,202 for those in the $48,001-$75,000 band. These are historical averages, not individual aid offers. In the reported aid data, 98% of students received financial aid, while 42% had student loans; aid can include debt that must be repaid.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, state aid, institutional scholarships and applicable military or veterans' education benefits. Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the usual starting point for federal need-based assistance. Scholarship deadlines, residency classification and an applicant's actual aid offer should be checked against the costs for the intended academic year.

What are the work-study opportunities at Auburn University at Montgomery?

AUM students may seek part-time work while enrolled, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award and academic internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through eligible employment; it is not an automatic payment simply because it appears in an aid offer.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the financial-aid application process and confirm their eligibility and available positions with AUM's financial aid and student employment offices. Other campus jobs may have different funding and hiring rules. In either case, students generally must apply for a position, and wages depend on hours worked.

For career development beyond a part-time paycheck, students can use AUM's career-support resources to explore majors and occupations, prepare application materials, seek internships and connect with employer opportunities. An internship may carry academic credit, pay, both or neither, depending on the placement; its terms should be confirmed with the academic program and employer.
