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

Concord University's reported 2024-25 undergraduate charges show a substantial difference between resident and nonresident tuition. An individual financial aid offer - not the published price alone - determines what a student may need to cover.

• West Virginia undergraduate tuition: $9,464, plus $1,200 in required fees.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $20,800, plus $1,200 in required fees.
• Reported annual room and board: $12,046; reported books and supplies: $1,100.

Adding those reported categories produces approximately $23,810 for an in-state student or $35,146 for an out-of-state student living on campus. These are illustrative sums from the listed 2024-25 amounts, not complete cost-of-attendance budgets: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges can increase the total. Living arrangements and meal-plan choices also affect actual costs.

Financial aid changes the picture. In the reported aid data, 99% of students received some form of aid, and 46% had student loans; receiving aid does not mean receiving a grant that covers all costs. Eligible students may combine federal grants and loans with West Virginia aid, institutional scholarships, and qualifying veteran or military education benefits. Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the starting point for federal aid and many other awards; state and scholarship deadlines may be earlier than an enrollment decision.

For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $6,930. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for the measured group, not a personalized quote or an amount everyone in that income range will pay. Compare a current aid offer with the university's current-year cost-of-attendance budget before deciding how much to borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Concord University?

Concord University students can pursue part-time work alongside their studies, but Federal Work-Study and an ordinary campus job are not the same thing. Work-Study is need-based federal financial aid: eligibility depends on the FAFSA and an individual aid offer, and students generally earn wages by working rather than receiving the full award upfront.

Students should ask the financial aid office how Work-Study jobs are posted, whether an award is needed before applying, and what other campus employment is available. Employment may help with ongoing expenses, but available hours and wages should not be assumed to cover a semester bill.

For career development beyond a paycheck, Concord reports individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking support. An internship can provide field experience, but a university-wide internship is not required of every student. Applicants should check whether their intended major has its own internship, clinical, or student-teaching requirement.
