Eastern Washington University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total about $8,586 for Washington residents and $26,583 for nonresidents. Those figures combine the reported tuition charge with $1,065 in required fees; they do not include living costs.

• Washington-resident undergraduate tuition: $7,521, plus $1,065 in required fees.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition: $25,518, plus $1,065 in required fees.
• Reported room and board: $16,508 for an academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $798.

Adding those reported categories produces about $25,892 for a resident or $43,889 for a nonresident, before transportation and personal expenses. This is not a complete individual cost-of-attendance estimate, and students living off campus may face different housing and food costs. Graduate tuition, part-time charges, and program-specific expenses also differ.

Published charges are not the same as the amount a student pays after aid. In the reported financial-aid data, 91% of students received some form of aid. Average net price for students in families earning $48,000 or less was $10,204, compared with $22,279 for those in families earning more than $110,000. Those are group averages after applicable aid, not quotes for a particular household. Eligible students may use federal and Washington grants, EWU scholarships, loans, or military education benefits; completing the applicable financial-aid application and checking scholarship deadlines are essential steps in obtaining a personalized estimate.

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

EWU students can seek part-time campus employment, while eligible students may also receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial-aid offer. Work-Study is a way to earn wages through an eligible job, not a grant paid out automatically or a guarantee that a position will be available.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the financial-aid application applicable to them, review their award, and follow EWU's student-employment application process. Ordinary student jobs may be open to applicants without a Work-Study award. In either case, job schedules, hiring requirements, and earnings depend on the position; students should budget for wages as they are earned rather than treating an award amount as money already received.

EWU's career services provide a separate kind of support: help exploring majors and careers, preparing application materials, finding internships or jobs, and connecting with employer events. An internship may offer academic credit or career experience without being a Work-Study job. Students should check the terms of each opportunity, including pay, credit approval, and any requirements imposed by their major.
