Boricua College

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

For the 2024-25 academic year, Boricua College reported the same full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students: $13,000. Required undergraduate fees were $25, bringing published tuition and required fees to $13,025 before living and other expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $13,000 per academic year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $25 per academic year.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $400.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $19,000, plus $100 in required graduate fees.

Students also need to budget for housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses, whether they live with family or rent independently. Those costs are not included in the tuition-and-fees total above. Financial aid can change the amount a student pays: 2024-25 reporting shows an average net price of $13,907 for students from families with annual income up to $48,000, compared with $23,253 for those in the $48,001-$75,000 range. Net price includes estimated costs beyond tuition and subtracts grant aid, so it need not be lower than the sticker price of tuition alone. These are group averages, not individual awards; a current, personalized aid offer is more useful for budgeting.

Eligible students may be able to use federal grants and loans and New York State aid, including the Tuition Assistance Program where applicable. Federal aid generally begins with the FAFSA; state aid has its own eligibility and application rules. In 2024-25 reporting, 96% of students received financial aid, while 14% had student loans. Receiving aid does not mean all costs were covered: the reported average grant award from federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources was $9,254. Students should compare grants, which generally do not require repayment, with loans, which do, and ask the financial aid office about current institutional scholarships and eligibility for military education benefits.

What are the work-study opportunities at Boricua College?

Boricua College students may encounter three different ways to combine work and study: paid employment, financial-aid-supported work where available, and academic internships. They should not be treated as the same opportunity.

Federal Work-Study, if included in an eligible student's aid package and supported by available positions, provides wages for approved work rather than an upfront discount on tuition. An ordinary part-time job does not require a Work-Study award. The college reports an internship requirement, but an internship may be unpaid or carry academic credit instead of wages; students should confirm the arrangement for their program before relying on it for income.

For career development, reported services include a career library, employer résumé referrals, and job fairs. Group career planning, individual job placement, and on-campus employer recruitment are reported for full-time undergraduates. Students seeking work should ask the financial aid office about Work-Study eligibility and openings, and the office handling internships or career services about placement procedures. These services are opportunities for support, not verified employment outcomes.
