Eureka College

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

Eureka College charges the same reported full-time undergraduate tuition to Illinois and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, the tuition and mandatory-fee figures add to $28,636 before housing, meals, books, transportation, or personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $27,757.
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $879.
• Typical annual room and board charges: $10,998 combined.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,200.

Adding those reported categories yields $40,834, but that is not a complete individual cost-of-attendance budget: transportation and personal expenses would add to it, and actual housing or meal-plan choices can change the total. The reported part-time tuition rate is $665 per credit hour. Students should compare these historical figures with the college's bill and financial aid budget for their intended year.

Published charges are different from net price, which reflects grant and scholarship aid. The reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less is $14,527; for families above $110,000, it is $23,482. These are averages, not offers to individual applicants. Financial aid records indicate that all students in the measured group received aid, but 76% had student loans. Eligible students may pursue federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, loans, and applicable military education benefits; comparing award letters requires separating aid that reduces the bill from money that must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Eureka College?

Eureka students may be able to combine coursework with part-time employment, but a job is not the same thing as a grant or an internship for academic credit. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, provides a way to earn wages through approved work; it is not normally paid in full at the start of a term or automatically deducted from tuition.

Students interested in campus employment should ask financial aid or the hiring office where positions are posted, whether a Work-Study award is required for a particular job, and how hiring and pay schedules work. They can also use the college's career services for job-search assistance, including a job bank, fairs, employer recruitment, résumé help, and interview preparation. A career-related position may be useful experience, but availability and hiring are distinct from receiving a financial aid award.
