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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $34,508, with $710 in required fees; the listed rates were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Typical annual room and board charges were $14,230, and books and supplies were estimated at $1,000.

  • Tuition and required fees: $35,218 for the reported 2024-25 academic year.
  • Room and board: $14,230 at the reported typical rate.
  • Books and supplies: about $1,000.
  • Combined subtotal: about $50,448, before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs.

Published charges are not the same as a student's final price. For the reported aid period, all students in the applicable aid measure received some form of financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award was $22,007. Average net price varied by family income: it was $13,276 for the lowest reported income band and $25,356 for families above $110,000. These are group averages, not individual offers.

Eligible students may combine institutional scholarships with federal or New York State aid, subject to each program's rules. Federal loans can cover some remaining costs, but they must generally be repaid; 63% of students in the reported measure used student loans. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing Daemen's actual aid offer are more useful than subtracting an average grant from the published price. Students using military education benefits should confirm how those benefits interact with other aid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Daemen University?

Daemen students can explore part-time employment and career support while enrolled, but Federal Work-Study and an ordinary campus job are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students with an award; an award provides an opportunity to earn wages through an eligible job, not an automatic payment or guaranteed position.

Students considering work should check their financial aid offer and ask the relevant university office how to find and apply for available positions. They should also distinguish wages earned during a term from grant aid that reduces a bill.

Career support is a separate resource. Reported services include individual career counseling for undergraduates and on-campus employer recruitment. Students seeking internships or postgraduation work can use counseling to discuss career direction and application materials, while checking the current career office's listings and events for opportunities in their field. Access to these services is not an employment outcome.
