Davenport University

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

For 2024-25, Davenport University's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $23,376, with $1,090 in required fees, for $24,466 before housing, food and other expenses. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. A part-time undergraduate rate was reported at $974 per credit hour.

Tuition and fees are only part of an annual budget. A separately reported room-and-board figure is $13,024, and the books-and-supplies figure is $780; students also need to allow for transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific charges. Those figures should not be treated as a personalized or guaranteed total, particularly when comparing published amounts from different reporting sources or years. Graduate tuition, course loads and fees require a separate calculation.

Net price estimates what students pay after grant and scholarship aid, not after loans. In the reported income-group figures, average net price was $22,376 for families earning $48,000 or less and $22,856 for those earning $48,001 to $75,000. Individual offers can vary substantially with eligibility, enrollment and living arrangements.

Eligible students may use federal grants and loans, Michigan aid programs, Davenport scholarships and applicable military education benefits. The 2024-25 figures report that 46% of students in the measured aid population had student loans. Students comparing offers should complete the FAFSA, review Davenport's scholarship conditions and separate grants that do not normally require repayment from borrowed funds. A financial aid offer, rather than a published average, is the appropriate basis for an individual budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Davenport University?

Davenport students can pursue part-time employment and use university career services, but a job, an internship and Federal Work-Study are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program for eligible students; an award permits a student to seek qualifying paid work but does not itself guarantee a position or pay tuition directly.

The university reports career counseling for undergraduates, résumé help, job listings, employer recruiting and job fairs. These services can help students search for campus jobs, internships and work after graduation. Job-search assistance is not an employment outcome, and Davenport does not require an internship of every student.

Students hoping to work during the academic year should review their financial aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and ask how campus positions are posted and paid. They should also check whether an internship in their major is paid, carries academic credit, or has separate prerequisites; those details affect both scheduling and the amount they can realistically earn.
