Delaware Valley University

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

Delaware Valley University's published undergraduate price is substantially higher than what some students pay after grants and scholarships. For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $42,140, with $2,710 in required fees; the listed charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

• Tuition and required fees, 2025-26: $46,190.
• Typical room and board charges: $15,340 for an academic year.
• Books and supplies: approximately $1,000.

Together, those listed items total about $61,190, before transportation and personal expenses. This is an illustrative combination of reported charges, not an individual financial-aid offer or a complete cost-of-attendance budget. Housing choice, meal plan, enrollment level, and program expenses can change a student's actual budget.

Grant aid can make the net cost lower, but borrowing still matters: reported aid figures show that 75% of students received student loans. Average net price also varied by family income; it was $22,118 for the lowest reported income band, covering families earning up to $48,000. Net price is an average after grant aid, not a quote for a particular applicant.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Pennsylvania state aid, and university scholarships or grants. The FAFSA is central to determining eligibility for many forms of aid. Applicants should compare the university's current aid offer with its current full cost-of-attendance estimate, separating grants that need not be repaid from loans and work earnings.

What are the work-study opportunities at Delaware Valley University?

Delaware Valley University combines career support with opportunities to gain work experience, but an internship, a campus job, and Federal Work-Study serve different purposes. An internship is an academic or career-learning experience; Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program that helps eligible students earn wages through approved jobs.

Reported career services include individual career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, career fairs, and alumni networking. Students can use those services to explore a major or prepare for an internship search; their availability does not imply that a job offer will follow.

Students interested in Federal Work-Study should complete the FAFSA and check whether it appears in their individual aid offer. A Work-Study award is generally earned through hours worked rather than deducted from a tuition bill in advance. Students without such an award can ask about other campus employment and how positions are advertised. For an academic internship, they should also confirm the major's approval and credit requirements.
