Augustana University

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

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Augustana's published full-time undergraduate tuition was $39,100, with $1,060 in required fees. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students, a distinction that matters when comparing Augustana with public universities.

Reported room and board charges totaled $10,010 for the academic year, and books and supplies were estimated at $1,000. Adding those items to tuition and required fees produces $51,170 before transportation, personal expenses or any other costs included in an individual student's budget. It is not a current-year quote: students should use the tuition and cost-of-attendance schedule for their intended entry year when estimating what they may owe.

Published price is not net price. Grants and scholarships can lower a student's cost, while loans help pay bills but must generally be repaid. In the reported aid figures, undergraduate grant recipients received an average of $28,594 in grant aid, and 52% of students had loans. Average net prices varied by family income; for students from families earning $0-$48,000, the reported average was $18,895. An income-band average is not an individual aid offer. Augustana's financial aid calculation, housing choice and personal expenses will determine a student's more useful comparison figure.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, institutional scholarships and other applicable aid by completing the required financial aid applications. Military education benefits may also be relevant for eligible students. Scholarship renewal conditions, aid deadlines and whether an award applies to a particular program should be checked in the student's own offer.

What are the work-study opportunities at Augustana University?

Augustana students can explore part-time employment alongside their studies, including campus jobs and, when eligible, Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program that supports wages from a qualifying job; it is not a grant paid simply for enrolling.

Eligibility generally depends on the student's financial aid application and award. A student offered Work-Study still needs to find and perform an eligible job, and earnings depend on hours worked. Campus positions without a Work-Study requirement may have different hiring rules. Students should ask the financial aid or student employment office where jobs are posted and whether an award limits the number of hours they can be paid through the program.

Career development is related but distinct. Augustana reports individual and group career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, job fairs, employer recruitment, job listings and opportunities to connect with alumni. Internships are not required of every student, so students seeking career-related experience should check how their department awards internship credit and whether a placement is paid.
