Doane University

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

For 2024-25, Doane reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $40,520 and required fees of $1,465 for both in-state and out-of-state students. Together, those published charges total $41,985 before housing, meals, books and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $41,985.
• Reported room and board: $12,786.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,102.

Adding those three reported categories produces $55,873 for that academic year, but it is not a complete individual cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation and personal expenses are additional, while housing and meal charges depend on the student's choices. Graduate and part-time pricing follows different schedules.

Published charges are also different from net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid figures, the average net price was $24,188 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $29,410 for those above $110,000. Those are averages for defined groups, not quotes for an applicant. Federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, loans and eligible military benefits can all affect financing. Aid records show broad receipt of assistance, but 66% of students in the reported measure had loans, so applicants should compare grant aid and borrowing separately when reviewing an offer.

What are the work-study opportunities at Doane University?

Doane students may be able to combine coursework with student employment, including positions supported by Federal Work-Study when they qualify. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program: receiving an award establishes potential eligibility, but a student must generally find a position and earn wages through work.

Ordinary campus jobs are different from Federal Work-Study positions and may have different funding and eligibility rules. Students seeking either type should review Doane's student-employment listings and ask the financial aid office how an offered work-study amount is paid. An internship may provide career experience, academic credit or wages, but it should not be assumed to provide all three.
