The reported tuition and required-fee amounts are the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates.

Interisland travel or relocation can materially change an individual budget, especially when the required program is not offered near home.

Financial aid may reduce what a student pays out of pocket. In 2024-25 data, 98% of students received some form of financial aid, while the average grant aid awarded to undergraduates was $3,447. Those are population-level figures, not an individual award estimate. A student's aid offer and campus-specific living expenses are needed to calculate a practical annual budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at College of Micronesia-FSM?

Students interested in working while attending College of Micronesia-FSM should distinguish a campus job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a financial-aid employment arrangement with award and job conditions; it is not a grant paid simply for enrolling.

Applicants should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify for Work-Study under their citizenship and aid circumstances, how available positions are advertised, and how wages are paid. Ordinary part-time jobs have separate hiring requirements and may be easier or harder to combine with classes depending on the campus and schedule.

The college reports individual career counseling and job-placement support for undergraduates. These services can help students plan a job search, but access to advice should not be read as a promise of employment or a substitute for checking the hours and duties of a specific student job.
