Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology

What is the cost of studying for a year at Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees are only part of the cost of attendance: students also need a realistic allowance for books, transportation, living expenses, and any program-specific supplies.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition: $18,306.
• 2024-25 required undergraduate fees: $600.
• 2024-25 tuition and required fees combined: $18,906, before living and other expenses.
• 2024-25 reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $610 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

These 2024-25 amounts should not be combined with tuition figures from a later academic year to create an annual estimate. Published tuition is also different from net price, which estimates cost after grant aid. In the reported income-group figures, average net price was $15,595 for families earning $48,000 or less and $21,375 for families earning more than $110,000. Those are group averages, not quotes for individual applicants.

Eligible students may be able to use federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, and federal loans; the appropriate starting point for need-based aid is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. In 2024-25 reporting, 85% of students received financial aid and 37% had student loans. A financial aid offer should be read line by line: grants generally do not need repayment, while loans do. Students eligible for military education benefits should also ask how those benefits interact with other aid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that can provide access to eligible jobs; an award does not by itself place a student in a position or deliver the full award amount upfront.

The institute reports career support that includes individual counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Those services can also help students look for internships or jobs outside a work-study award. Students should ask the financial aid office about work-study eligibility and hiring procedures, then compare any job's hours with the attendance and lab demands of their program.
