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

For the reported 2024-25 academic year, Averett listed the same full-time undergraduate tuition for Virginia and out-of-state students. Published charges are a starting point for a budget, not the amount every student ultimately pays after aid.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $38,400; required fees: $150.
  • Typical annual room charge: $8,900; typical board charge: $5,140.
  • Estimated books and supplies: $1,200.

Those listed tuition, fee, room, board, and book figures add to $53,790 for the academic year. That subtotal is not a complete individual cost of attendance: transportation, personal expenses, program charges, and other applicable costs may increase a student's budget. Living arrangements can also change the housing and food amount.

Grants can substantially change the price. Reported average net prices for students in families earning $48,000 or less and $48,001-$75,000 were $16,990 and $19,023, respectively. Net price is an average after grant aid, not a guaranteed award. In the reported aid data, 99% of students received financial aid and 63% had student loans; borrowing must be repaid even when it helps cover the remaining bill. Applicants should compare their own aid offer and estimated borrowing with the full cost of their intended program.

What are the work-study opportunities at Averett University?

Averett students may pursue part-time work alongside study, but a campus job and Federal Work-Study are not the same thing. Federal Work-Study is need-based student employment awarded through the financial-aid process; an eligible student generally earns wages by working rather than receiving the entire award as an upfront tuition discount.

Students seeking work-study should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and check their aid offer for eligibility, available funding, and instructions for finding a position. They should not assume that an award guarantees a particular job or enough hours to earn its full listed amount. Other campus or community jobs may be available without work-study eligibility.

For career development, Averett reports access to individual and group career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. Those services can support an internship or job search, but the university does not require an internship of every student. Students should ask their program which placements, if any, carry academic credit or are required for completion.
