Elizabethtown College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Elizabethtown College?

Elizabethtown College charges private-college tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. For 2024-25, the reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $37,250, with $700 in required fees.

The same reporting lists typical room and board charges totaling $13,810 and books and supplies at $1,100. Added to tuition and required fees, those items come to approximately $52,860 for an academic year. That calculation is a comparison starting point, not a complete personal budget: transportation, personal expenses, health coverage where applicable, and program-specific charges can increase the cost. It also should not be mixed with a different year's published tuition to create a single annual estimate.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. Reported average net prices vary by family income: $17,113 for the $0-$48,000 group and $31,198 for families above $110,000, for example. These are averages for the reporting population, not quotes for a prospective student. The reported average grant-aid amount was $22,932, while 65% of students had student loans. A financial aid offer and a current-year cost-of-attendance estimate are needed to judge affordability, especially because loans reduce the amount due now but must ordinarily be repaid.

Eligible students may be considered for federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, loans, and applicable military education benefits. Applicants should complete the FAFSA and review the college's current aid instructions and deadlines; scholarship eligibility and renewal conditions can differ by award.

What are the work-study opportunities at Elizabethtown College?

Elizabethtown College students can combine classes with student employment and career-development activities. A campus job, Federal Work-Study, and an internship are different arrangements and should not be treated as interchangeable forms of financial aid.

Federal Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program for eligible students. An award generally indicates how much a student may earn through approved work, not money automatically credited to the tuition bill; the student must obtain a position and work the hours. Other campus jobs may be available outside Work-Study and follow their own hiring rules. Students should check their aid offer, job-posting procedures, and payroll arrangements before counting anticipated wages in a term budget.

For career planning, reported services include individual and group counseling, résumé and interview assistance, employer recruitment, job fairs, job listings, and alumni networking opportunities. These services can help students find internships or employment, but their availability should not be interpreted as a verified job-placement outcome. An internship is not reported as a college-wide graduation requirement, although a particular major may require field experience.
