Eastern Florida State College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Eastern Florida State College?

Eastern Florida State College's published undergraduate charges vary substantially by Florida residency. In 2024-25 reporting, average full-time in-state tuition was $2,048, with $743 in required fees; the corresponding out-of-state figures were $8,399 in tuition and $2,577 in required fees. Those categories describe published charges, not an individual financial-aid bill.

• In-state tuition and required fees: $2,791 when the reported 2024-25 components are added.
• Out-of-state tuition and required fees: $10,976 when the reported 2024-25 components are added.
• Reported books and supplies: $600; actual spending depends on courses and materials.
• Reported room and board benchmark: $11,638; housing and food costs depend on a student's living arrangement.

Students should not add every published housing figure to tuition without checking how the college constructs its current cost-of-attendance budget. Transportation, personal expenses, course-specific charges, and living arrangements also affect the total. The college's current tuition schedule and personalized aid offer are more useful for budgeting than a single average.

Financial assistance may include federal Pell Grants for eligible students, Florida state aid, scholarships, and federal student loans. Students generally begin by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, and completing any additional verification requested. In the 2024-25 data, 71% of students received some form of financial aid and 15% had student loans; neither percentage describes an individual award. Reported average net prices after grant and scholarship aid varied by family income, from $5,658 for the lowest reported income bracket to $11,623 for the highest. Net price is an average, not a tuition rate or a guaranteed personal cost.

Veterans and eligible dependents should ask the college's benefits staff how a particular education benefit applies to their program and course load. Benefit eligibility, residency classification, and scholarship rules can change what a student ultimately pays.

What are the work-study opportunities at Eastern Florida State College?

Eastern Florida State College students can seek part-time employment while enrolled, but Federal Work-Study is a specific form of need-based financial aid - not a guarantee of a campus job. Eligible students should indicate interest through the FAFSA process and ask Financial Aid about available funding and positions.

Work-Study wages are earned through hours worked, rather than credited automatically against tuition. Ordinary campus or off-campus part-time jobs may have different eligibility rules and funding sources. An internship, meanwhile, may be paid or unpaid and is primarily structured around professional experience or academic credit.

EFSC's career services include individual and group career planning, résumé assistance, interview preparation, career-interest exploration, job listings, and employer events. Students can use those services to search for work or clarify a career direction, but access to counseling or recruitment does not establish that a job offer will follow.
