Eastern New Mexico University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Eastern New Mexico University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees total $7,074 for New Mexico residents and $9,054 for nonresidents. The fee portion is $2,880 in either case, so comparing tuition figures alone understates the published charge.

• Resident tuition: $4,194; mandatory fees: $2,880.
• Nonresident tuition: $6,174; mandatory fees: $2,880.
• Reported room and board: $8,446 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $950.

Adding those reported items produces $16,470 for a resident or $18,450 for a nonresident living under the room-and-board assumption. Those are not complete cost-of-attendance budgets: transportation, personal spending, and any program-specific costs also matter. A commuter or online student may face a different mix of expenses.

Net price measures cost after grant aid, not the published bill. Among reported students from families with annual incomes up to $48,000, the average net price was $3,080; individual results depend on eligibility and living arrangements. ENMU's aid figures show that 99% of students received some form of financial aid and 19% had student loans. Eligible students may use federal grants and loans, New Mexico aid, institutional scholarships, or veterans education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing scholarship eligibility are distinct steps; neither ensures that aid will cover every expense.

What are the work-study opportunities at Eastern New Mexico University?

Student employment at ENMU can include campus jobs and, for eligible students, Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program under which students earn wages through approved employment; an award does not mean wages are paid upfront or that a job is guaranteed.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask ENMU's financial aid or student employment staff how positions are posted and filled. A regular part-time campus job may have different eligibility rules. Either type of job can provide work experience, but paid employment, an academic internship, and career advising serve different purposes.
