Edison State Community College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Edison State Community College?

For 2024-25, Edison State reported $3,848 in in-state tuition and $651 in required fees for a full-time undergraduate. The corresponding out-of-state tuition figure was $7,695, with the same reported required-fee amount. These published charges are a starting point, not an individual student's full annual budget.

• 2025-26 in-state full-time tuition and required fees: $4,499 combined.
• 2025-26 out-of-state full-time tuition and required fees: $11,008 combined.
• 2025-26 reported part-time tuition: $160 per credit for in-state students or $321 per credit for out-of-state students, before applicable fees.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $2,040; actual spending depends on courses and materials.

Transportation, food, housing, and personal expenses also affect affordability, even though the college does not provide student housing. Do not add a separate published room-and-board estimate to a budget without checking what it represents for a commuter. Net price is different from sticker price: it reflects attendance costs after applicable grant and scholarship aid, and it varies by student circumstances. In the reported income-band figures, average net price was $8,925 for families earning $48,000 or less; an individual aid offer may differ substantially.

Eligible students can seek federal grants and loans by completing the FAFSA, and may also qualify for Ohio aid, Edison State scholarships, or veterans' education benefits. The 2024-25 figures report that 87% of students received some form of financial aid, while 6% received student loans. Those shares describe past recipients, not what a new applicant will be awarded. Students should compare their own aid offer with a budget that includes commuting and program-specific expenses.

What are the work-study opportunities at Edison State Community College?

Edison State students can seek employment while enrolled, but Federal Work-Study is different from an ordinary part-time job. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: eligibility depends on the student's aid application and the availability of an eligible position, and wages are earned through work rather than credited automatically against a tuition bill.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA and ask the financial-aid office how eligible campus or approved community positions are advertised. Other part-time employment does not require a Work-Study award. Separately, Edison State's career support includes individual and group planning, résumé preparation, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. These services can help students search for work or explore a field, but access to a service is not a job-placement guarantee or an internship requirement for all students.
