Berry College

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

For 2024-25, Berry's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $41,160, with $326 in required fees; the stated charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Typical room and board charges added $14,780, and estimated books and supplies added $1,000. Together, those items total $57,266 before transportation and personal expenses.

That calculation is a published-cost illustration, not every student's final bill or the college's complete cost-of-attendance budget. Housing choice, meal plan, course materials and travel can change the total. Students should also avoid combining prices from different academic years when comparing offers.

Grant aid can substantially change what a family pays. In the reported financial-aid data, the average undergraduate grant award from federal, state, local, institutional or other sources was $32,347. Average net price also varied by family income: it was $16,935 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $28,116 for those from families earning above $110,000. Averages do not substitute for an individual aid offer.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Georgia aid where residency rules permit, and Berry scholarships or grants. The FAFSA is central to determining eligibility for many forms of aid. The reported data show that all students received some form of financial aid and 39% had student loans; "financial aid" includes assistance that need not be repaid as well as borrowing. Eligible military-connected students should have Berry evaluate their specific education benefits rather than assume a reported average benefit amount will apply to them.

What are the work-study opportunities at Berry College?

Student employment is a distinctive part of Berry's educational model. Campus jobs can provide pay, work experience and a way to explore interests, but a position's duties and hours depend on the role and the student's schedule.

Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program for eligible students; it is not the same as every campus job and ordinarily requires a student to work to earn the awarded funds. Berry also has student employment opportunities outside that federal program. Applicants should examine their aid offer and the college's student-job postings to understand eligibility, hiring and expected hours.

Berry's career support extends beyond paid campus work. Reported services include individual career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, employer recruiting, job-search resources, career fairs and alumni networking. An internship can be valuable for a particular major or career goal, but Berry does not require one of every student. Access to career services is not itself an employment outcome.
