What is the cost of studying for a year at Benedictine College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $35,350, with $1,000 in required fees, for both Kansas residents and out-of-state students. Reported room and board charges were $14,590. Together, those listed charges total $50,940 before books, transportation, personal expenses, and any other applicable costs; they are not a complete individual cost-of-attendance estimate.

Published charges are not the same as the amount a student ultimately pays. Federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, and other assistance can reduce the bill, while loans must generally be repaid. In the reported aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, the average undergraduate grant award was $22,149, and 49% had student loans. Those averages do not predict an applicant's award.

Reported average net prices vary by family income: $22,678 for families earning up to $48,000 and $30,832 for families earning more than $110,000, for example. Net price reflects costs after grant or scholarship aid, not after borrowing. Applicants should file the FAFSA if seeking federal aid, examine institutional scholarship requirements, and compare their own aid offer with a current, itemized budget rather than subtracting an average grant from the published price.

What are the work-study opportunities at Benedictine College?

Benedictine College students can pursue campus employment and career-development services, but a part-time job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program for eligible students; an award permits a student to seek qualifying work but is not, by itself, a job offer.

Students interested in work should ask the financial aid and student employment offices how positions are posted, whether jobs require Work-Study eligibility, and how wages are paid. They should not assume that expected earnings will automatically reduce a tuition bill before work is performed.

The college's career services include individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview preparation, career-interest resources, job listings, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking opportunities. These services can support a search for internships or employment, but their availability is not an employment outcome or a promise of placement.
