For 2024-25, Brenau reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $31,470 and required fees of $2,287 for both Georgia and out-of-state students. Together, those published charges total $33,757 before housing, food, books and other expenses. A part-time student's reported undergraduate tuition charge was $1,049 per credit hour.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $33,757.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $13,170.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,290.

Adding those three reported categories produces $48,217, but that is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal spending and program-specific costs may add to it, while a commuter will have different living expenses. Students should compare costs for the same academic year and enrollment status rather than combine a current bill with an older housing figure.

Grants and scholarships can reduce what a student pays, while loans defer payment and must generally be repaid. In IPEDS reporting, 99% of students in the measured aid group received financial aid, and 70% had student loans. The reported average net price for families with annual income of $0-$48,000 was $17,379; net price is an average after grant and scholarship aid, not an individual offer. Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, Georgia aid programs, institutional scholarships and applicable military education benefits. An applicant's aid offer and degree-specific cost estimate are the appropriate figures for a personal budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Brenau University?

Students considering part-time work at Brenau should distinguish Federal Work-Study from other campus jobs. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students and depends on both an award and an available position; it is not a guarantee of employment or a discount automatically subtracted from tuition.

Ordinary student jobs may have different eligibility rules, and internships can be paid, unpaid or required for a particular major. Students seeking work should review their financial-aid award, ask where Brenau posts student positions and check whether a job's hours can fit around classes or clinical training.

Brenau also reports career services including individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, interview practice, job listings, employer events and alumni networking. Those services can support a search for work or an internship, but access to them is not an employment outcome.
