Eastern Oregon University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $11,184 for Oregon residents and $24,729 for nonresidents. Those published charges are only part of an annual budget: housing, meals, books, transportation and personal expenses also matter.

• Oregon-resident undergraduate tuition: $9,000; required fees: $2,184.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition: $22,545; required fees: $2,184.
• Typical annual room and board charge: $12,460, comprising a $7,010 room charge and $5,450 board charge.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,215.

Using those 2024-25 figures, tuition, required fees, room and board, and books and supplies add to about $24,859 for a resident or $38,404 for a nonresident. These are partial planning totals, not complete cost-of-attendance estimates: they exclude expenses such as transportation and personal spending, and an individual housing choice may cost more or less. Online, part-time and graduate students may face different rates and budgets.

Published charges are also different from net price, which accounts for grant and scholarship aid. Among the reported income-group averages, net price was $11,150 for students from families earning no more than $48,000 and $14,208 for those in the next income band, up to $75,000. These averages do not determine anyone's aid offer.

Reportedly, 98% of students received financial aid and 37% used student loans. Aid may include federal grants and loans, Oregon programs for eligible residents, institutional scholarships and qualifying military education benefits. Students seeking need-based federal aid generally begin with the FAFSA; scholarship and state-aid deadlines may be separate. Because loans must normally be repaid, applicants should compare their individual aid notice with the full attendance budget rather than subtracting every form of "aid" from the bill as though it were a grant.

What are the work-study opportunities at Eastern Oregon University?

Eastern Oregon University students can look for part-time work while enrolled, but Federal Work-Study, ordinary student jobs and internships serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students; an award establishes potential earnings rather than placing a student in a job or paying the full award automatically.

Students considering work should review their financial aid offer, ask how campus positions are advertised and confirm whether a job requires Work-Study eligibility. Other part-time positions may have their own hiring rules. An internship, meanwhile, may be paid or unpaid and can have academic-credit requirements; EOU does not report an internship requirement for every student.

EOU reports career services including individual career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest exploration, job-search resources and opportunities to connect with employers or alumni. Those services can help a student seek work or plan a career, but they are not a promise of a position after graduation.
