Divine Word College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Divine Word College?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Divine Word College listed the same full-time undergraduate tuition for Iowa residents and students from other states: $15,400. Required fees were reported at $200. These are published charges, not an individual student's final bill after aid.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $15,400 for the 2024-25 reporting year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $200 for the same reporting year.
• Reported room and board charge: $4,600 for the same reporting year.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $365 per credit hour.

Tuition, required fees, and the reported room-and-board charge total $20,200. That sum is not a complete cost of attendance: books, transportation, personal expenses and any student-specific charges can add to it. Nor should a commuter add campus room and board to an off-campus budget without first determining which housing arrangement applies.

Financial aid can substantially change what a student pays. In the reported aid figures, all students in the applicable population received some form of financial aid, while none received student loans. The reported average grant-aid award was $25,718, but an average is not an offer to every applicant and may reflect aid from several sources. Eligible students should complete the financial-aid application process and compare their own award notice with a current, itemized cost estimate. They should distinguish grants, which ordinarily do not require repayment, from loans and wages earned through work.

What are the work-study opportunities at Divine Word College?

Students considering part-time work at Divine Word College should distinguish an ordinary campus job from Federal Work-Study, a need-based financial-aid program. Neither a financial-aid award nor an interest in working establishes that a particular job will be available.

Federal Work-Study generally requires an eligible aid application and earnings from work performed; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term. Applicants should ask the financial-aid office whether they qualify, how campus positions are advertised, how many hours are practical alongside their coursework, and whether approved off-campus jobs are offered. They should also ask separately about advising for internships, job searches or ministry placements: those experiences may have different eligibility and pay arrangements.
