For the 2025-26 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Chowan was $28,110 for both North Carolina residents and out-of-state students. Reported required fees were $0, but tuition and fees alone do not represent the full cost of attendance.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $27,910.
• Reported room and board: about $9,990.
• Reported books and supplies: about $1,200.

Those listed amounts total approximately $39,100 before transportation and personal expenses; they are a partial illustration, not an official individualized cost-of-attendance budget. Charges also depend on enrollment, housing, and meal choices. The reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $10,950, but an income-group average is not a price quote for a particular applicant.

Financial aid substantially changes the comparison between published price and likely payment. Reported aid data indicate that all undergraduates in the measured group received some form of aid, with average grant aid of $22,426; grants and scholarships generally do not require repayment, while loans do. About 57% received student loans. Eligible students may pursue federal grants and loans, North Carolina assistance, institutional scholarships, and applicable veterans' benefits. Filing the FAFSA and reviewing Chowan's actual aid offer will show which sources, amounts, and remaining costs apply to an individual student.

What are the work-study opportunities at Chowan University?

Chowan students can explore employment and career planning through its career services, but a campus job, a Federal Work-Study award, and an internship serve different purposes. Work-Study is need-based federal aid earned through an eligible job; an award is not money paid automatically before the student works.

Reported career-center services include individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest testing, job listings, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking. An internship is not required of every student, although a particular major may have its own experiential requirements. Students seeking paid work should ask financial aid whether they qualify for Federal Work-Study and ask the office handling student employment where positions are posted. Career counseling and employer events are useful services, but their availability does not establish a job-placement outcome.
