Drury University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $35,400, with $1,345 in required fees, for $36,745 before housing and other expenses. The reported tuition and fee amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $36,955
• Typical room and board charges: $11,690
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,250

Adding those reported categories gives about $49,685 for an academic year before transportation, personal expenses, and any other applicable costs. That is an illustration using 2024-25 figures, not a current bill or a complete individualized cost of attendance. Housing choice, meal plan, course load, and program charges can change the total.

Published cost is not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. Reported average net price was $15,769 for students from families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less and $24,458 for those above $110,000. Those are group averages, not aid quotes. Drury's reported average undergraduate grant award was $26,506, while about half of students had student loans. Applicants should compare their own financial aid offer with the full cost of attendance and separate grants from loans that must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Drury University?

Eligible Drury students may be able to combine coursework with a campus job, including positions supported by Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is need-based federal financial aid earned through paid employment; it is not an automatic tuition discount or a guarantee of a job or a particular number of hours.

Students normally establish federal aid eligibility through the FAFSA, then apply for available positions under Drury's student-employment procedures. A student without Work-Study eligibility may still be able to seek an ordinary campus job. Paid employment also differs from an internship, which may carry academic credit, pay, both, or neither depending on the placement.

For longer-term planning, Drury reports career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, job-search resources, employer recruitment, fairs, and alumni networking opportunities for undergraduates. These services can support a search but should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome; an internship is not required of every Drury student.
