Avila University

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

For 2024-25, Avila reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $40,200 for both Missouri residents and out-of-state students, with no separately reported required undergraduate fees in that tuition measure. Tuition is only part of the annual budget.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $40,200.
• Typical academic-year room and board: $12,170, comprising a $7,700 room charge and a $4,470 board charge.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,244.

Those figures total $53,614 for a student using the listed housing and dining estimate, before transportation, personal expenses, and any individual program costs. It is an illustration assembled from 2024-25 figures, not an official individualized cost-of-attendance quote. Commuters and students with different housing arrangements will have different budgets.

Published price also differs from net price after grants and scholarships. For federally aided students in the reported income-based net-price measure, the average was $14,939 for families earning up to $48,000 and $19,775 for families earning more than $110,000. These are group averages, not aid offers. Avila reported aid for all students in its measured aid cohort, while 61% received student loans; aid can therefore include money that must be repaid. Eligible students can pursue federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, as well as applicable state aid and institutional scholarships. A current award letter is the most useful basis for comparing what a particular student would pay.

What are the work-study opportunities at Avila University?

Avila students can look for employment alongside their studies, but a campus job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid earned through an eligible job; it is not an upfront tuition discount or a guarantee of employment.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask Avila's financial aid office how eligible positions are posted and paid. Other part-time positions may have different eligibility rules. Before accepting a job, students should consider whether its hours fit required classes, clinical placements, or commuting time.

Avila also reports career support available to undergraduates, including individual career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest testing, job fairs, employer recruitment, and an alumni networking program. These services can help with internships and job searches, but their availability should not be confused with a verified job-placement rate.
