Belmont University

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

Belmont is a private university, so its published undergraduate tuition does not differ by Tennessee residency. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $40,560, with $1,980 in required fees. Together, those charges totaled $42,540 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

Reported typical room and board charges for an academic year totaled $15,530. Adding that amount to the 2024-25 tuition and required fees produces $58,070 in those stated charges, not a complete cost-of-attendance budget. A student living off campus, choosing a different meal plan, or enrolling in a program with additional expenses could face a different total. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $1,530 per credit hour; graduate and professional pricing follows separate rules.

Published charges are not the same as an individual student's net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, 95% of students received some form of financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award was $22,883; an average award is not an offer to every applicant. Reported average net prices varied by family income, from $24,723 for the lowest listed income group to $43,606 for families above $110,000. Those figures are group averages, not a quote for a particular household.

Eligible students may use federal grants and loans, Tennessee aid for which they qualify, institutional scholarships, and other assistance. Veterans and eligible family members may also be able to use military education benefits. Applicants should complete the financial aid application requirements for their entry year and compare their own award letter with a full expense budget, including costs that are not billed directly by Belmont.

What are the work-study opportunities at Belmont University?

Belmont students can look for part-time employment while studying, including campus positions. Federal Work-Study, when awarded, is a need-based financial aid program that permits eligible students to earn wages through approved jobs; it is not a grant credited in full to a tuition bill or a guarantee of employment.

Students should check their aid offer to see whether they qualify for Federal Work-Study, then use Belmont's current student-employment process to find openings and apply. Other campus jobs may be available to students without a work-study award. Pay, hours, and availability depend on the position, and earnings generally arrive through a paycheck as work is completed.

Career-related employment and internships serve a different purpose from need-based aid. Belmont's career services can assist with exploring occupations, preparing résumés and interviews, searching for internships and jobs, and meeting employers. Students comparing opportunities should ask whether a position is paid, whether it carries academic credit, and how its hours fit their coursework.
