Cheyney University of Pennsylvania

What is the cost of studying for a year at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania?

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $10,904 for Pennsylvania residents and $18,620 for out-of-state students. Tuition alone is lower than those totals; overlooking required fees would understate the bill.

• In-state tuition: $7,716; required fees: $3,188.
• Out-of-state tuition: $15,432; required fees: $3,438.
• Reported typical academic-year housing: $7,148; dining: $3,868.

Adding the reported housing and dining charges produces a direct-charge illustration of $21,920 for an in-state residential student or $29,886 for an out-of-state residential student. Those figures are not complete cost-of-attendance estimates: books, transportation, personal expenses, and individual charges may add to the budget. A commuter's expenses will differ from a resident's.

Financial aid can substantially change what a student pays. In the reported aid data, 97% of students received financial aid and 58% had student loans; the average grant award reported for undergraduates was $13,124. Grants generally do not need to be repaid, while loans do. Average net price also varies by family income: the reported figure is $12,358 for the lowest listed income band, $0-$48,000. An applicant's actual award depends on eligibility and circumstances, so a personalized aid offer is more useful for budgeting than an institutional average.

What are the work-study opportunities at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania?

Students can pursue part-time employment alongside their studies, but a campus job should not be assumed to come automatically with admission or a financial aid award. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, is an opportunity to earn wages through an approved job - not a grant paid in advance and not a guarantee of a position.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the required financial aid application, review their award, and ask the financial aid office how approved positions are posted and paid. Ordinary part-time jobs and internships have different hiring and academic-credit rules; an internship is not required of every Cheyney student.

Career support reported for undergraduates includes individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can help with a job search, but their availability should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
