Davis & Elkins College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Davis & Elkins College?

For 2024-25, Davis & Elkins College reported the same published full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students. Published charges are a starting point; an individual student's bill and eventual net cost depend on housing choices, aid eligibility and other expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $30,840 for either residency category in 2024-25.
• Required undergraduate fees: $980 in 2024-25, making tuition and these fees $31,820.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $10,850.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,642.

Combining those reported amounts produces an illustrative $44,312 before transportation, personal expenses and any other applicable costs. It is not a personalized cost-of-attendance quote, and students should use the college's estimate for their own enrollment year and living arrangement when planning a budget. Part-time undergraduates face a different pricing structure; the reported per-credit charge was $1,285.

Financial aid can materially change the amount paid. In the reported aid figures, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award was $25,493. Grant aid generally does not require repayment, while loans do; the reported share of students using loans was 63%. Those averages should not be subtracted from the sticker price to predict an individual award.

The reported average net price was $17,005 for families with annual incomes up to $48,000. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for the population measured, not necessarily what a student must pay immediately or borrow. Applicants should complete the FAFSA, review eligibility for federal and West Virginia aid, and compare their own award letters - including loan amounts - rather than relying on an institutional average. Eligible veterans and dependents should separately verify how their education benefits interact with other assistance.

What are the work-study opportunities at Davis & Elkins College?

Student employment at Davis & Elkins College can help some students meet expenses or gain experience, but a job is not the same as a grant and its earnings are not guaranteed. Federal Work-Study, when included in an aid offer, generally requires financial need established through the FAFSA and pays students for hours worked rather than appearing automatically as a tuition discount.

Students interested in work should ask the financial aid office how campus positions are advertised, whether they are eligible for Federal Work-Study, and whether non-work-study jobs are also open to them. They should consider expected hours alongside course and clinical schedules. An internship, where available in a major, may serve a different academic or career purpose and should not be assumed to be paid; the college does not report requiring an internship of every student.

For career planning beyond a campus job, the college reports individual and group career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest testing, job-search resources and employer events. These are services students can use, not verified job-placement outcomes.
