For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $18,341 for both in-state and out-of-state students, with $0 in separately reported required fees. That tuition figure is not a complete annual budget: students may also need to pay for housing, food, books or equipment, transportation, and personal expenses.
Net price is an average cost after grant aid, not a tuition rate; it can exceed tuition because it includes other attendance expenses. The income-band averages also should not be treated as an individual aid offer. Program length, enrollment intensity, living arrangements, and aid eligibility can change a student's total cost substantially.
In 2024-25 reporting, 93% of students received financial aid and 67% had student loans. The average undergraduate grant award reported for federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources was $6,206. Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, along with applicable state, institutional, or military benefits. Before committing, request a program-specific cost-of-attendance estimate and aid offer that separates grants from money that must be repaid.
Students should distinguish a paid job from financial aid and from career-placement assistance. Charter College reports career counseling and job-placement services, but those services do not themselves provide wages or establish eligibility for Federal Work-Study.
Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is aid earned through an approved part-time job rather than a grant paid automatically. Anyone relying on employment to cover expenses should ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study is included in their individual offer, how jobs are assigned, and whether openings are available at their location. Ordinary off-campus employment may offer another source of income but may be harder to fit around required labs or practical training.
