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

For 2024-25, reported full-time in-state tuition at Carroll Community College was $5,784, with $1,494 in required fees. Together, those published charges were $7,278 before books, transportation, and living expenses. The corresponding out-of-state tuition and required fees totaled $9,228.

• In-state full-time tuition and required fees, 2025-26: $7,278.
• Out-of-state full-time tuition and required fees, 2025-26: $9,228.
• Reported part-time tuition charge: $241 per credit for in-state students or $337 per credit for out-of-state students, before applicable fees.
• Reported books-and-supplies estimate: $2,000; actual spending depends on courses and materials.

Those figures are not a complete annual cost of attendance. A commuter may need to budget for housing away from campus, food, transportation, and personal expenses; adding a generic housing estimate as though it were a campus room charge would be misleading. Likewise, a part-time student's bill depends on credits attempted and applicable fees. Students should use the current tuition schedule and their own course load for a more precise estimate.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays. In the 2024-25 figures, 64% of students received some form of financial aid and 4% received student loans. Reported average net price varied by family-income group: it was $1,999 for the $0-$48,000 group and $8,557 for the group above $110,000. Net price is an average after grant and scholarship aid, not an individual quote. Eligible students can explore federal and Maryland grants, institutional scholarships, and other assistance through the college's financial aid process; borrowing is a separate decision from accepting a grant.

What are the work-study opportunities at Carroll Community College?

Carroll students can look for employment that fits around classes, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are not the same thing. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through eligible employment; receiving an award does not itself place a student in a job.

Students interested in work-study should complete the financial aid application process and ask the financial aid office about eligibility, available positions, and how to apply. Ordinary part-time jobs may have different funding and hiring rules. For career-related work, Carroll's career services include individual and group planning, résumé preparation, interview preparation, a job bank, and job fairs. The college also reports employer recruitment opportunities. These services can help students search and prepare, but they do not establish that an applicant will receive an offer.
