CUNY Medgar Evers College

What is the cost of studying for a year at CUNY Medgar Evers College?

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $7,352 for New York residents and $15,302 for students charged the out-of-state rate. Residency classification therefore has a substantial effect on the published price.

• New York resident: $6,930 tuition plus $422 in required fees.
• Out-of-state student: $14,880 tuition plus $422 in required fees.
• Reported part-time tuition: $305 per credit for residents or $620 per credit for nonresidents, before applicable fees.

Tuition and fees are not the full cost of attendance. A student must also budget for housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses; those amounts depend heavily on living arrangements and course needs. The college does not provide undergraduate residence halls, so its published tuition should not be mistaken for a residential package.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays. In the reported period, 89% of students received financial aid, while 10% had student loans. For families with annual income up to $48,000, the reported average net price was $5,547; net price is an average cost after grant and scholarship aid, not an individual quote. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, New York State assistance, and applicable scholarships by completing the required aid applications. Residency, dependency status, income, and enrollment level all affect eligibility.

What are the work-study opportunities at CUNY Medgar Evers College?

Eligible Medgar Evers College students may pursue Federal Work-Study, a need-based financial-aid program that provides earnings through approved part-time employment. It differs from a grant: students are paid for hours worked, and a work-study award does not automatically place someone in a job.

Students ordinarily establish potential eligibility through the FAFSA and then follow the college's financial-aid and hiring procedures to seek available positions. Depending on the opportunity, work may involve a campus office or an approved community employer. Ordinary part-time jobs and internships can also provide income or experience, but they are not necessarily Federal Work-Study positions and follow different pay and eligibility rules.

For career-related experience, the college's career services include job-search assistance, résumé support, interview preparation, and employer events. Students comparing opportunities should ask whether a position is paid, whether it can earn academic credit, and how its hours fit their course schedule.
