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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Fisk was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees are only part of an annual budget: housing, meals, books, transportation and personal expenses also matter.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $23,880.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,978.
• Typical room charge: $6,568.
• Typical board charge: $5,340.

Those reported charges put tuition, fees, room and board at $37,766 for that academic year, before books, transportation and other personal costs. The sum is an illustration using the listed charges, not a personalized bill or a complete cost-of-attendance budget. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $995 per credit hour; graduate rates differ.

Financial aid can substantially change what a student pays, but published charges and net price are different measures. Among reported recipients, average grant aid from federal, state, local, institutional and other sources was $26,079; an average award is not a promise of an individual package. The reported average net price for families with annual income of $48,000 or less was $32,474. That income-group average includes the expenses counted in the net-price calculation and should not be subtracted from tuition alone.

Reported figures show that 87% of students received financial aid and 53% used student loans. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, state assistance and Fisk scholarships through the applicable aid processes. A student's current aid offer and cost-of-attendance budget are more useful for comparing colleges than an average from a prior reporting year.

What are the work-study opportunities at Fisk University?

Fisk students may be able to combine coursework with student employment, including Federal Work-Study when they qualify and a position is available. Work-Study is need-based federal aid earned as wages for hours worked; it is not an automatic discount on tuition or a guarantee of a job.

Students should review their financial aid offer to see whether Work-Study is included, then ask how Fisk posts openings and handles hiring and timesheets. Ordinary campus jobs may have different eligibility rules, and an internship may be paid, unpaid or taken for academic credit depending on the opportunity. For career-related work, Fisk's reported career services include job listings, résumé preparation, interview workshops and employer events. Students should distinguish help finding work from an assurance that a position will be available.
