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

For 2024-25, IPEDS reports average full-time undergraduate tuition of $2,369 plus $731 in required fees for Florida residents at Florida Gateway College. Together, those figures equal $3,100 for the reported academic year. Out-of-state tuition of $9,473 plus $2,274 in required fees totals $11,870 on the same basis.

  • Florida resident, reported full-time tuition and required fees: $3,100.
  • Out-of-state student, reported full-time tuition and required fees: $11,870.
  • Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,271; actual spending depends on courses and materials.

Tuition and fees are not a complete attendance budget. Housing and food, transportation, personal expenses, and program-specific supplies can substantially change the amount a student needs, particularly for someone commuting or completing off-campus clinical work. Part-time billing and Florida residency classification also affect charges; students should use the current term's fee schedule for an actual registration decision rather than treat the 2024-25 averages as a quote.

Financial aid changes the picture. In IPEDS 2024-25 reporting, 85% of students received some form of aid, while 15% had student loans. Reported average net prices for students in families earning no more than $48,000 were $4,529, compared with $6,762 for the $48,001-$75,000 income band. Net price estimates reflect costs after grant and scholarship aid for defined groups; they are not an individual aid offer and should not be added to the tuition figures above.

Eligible students may be able to use federal grants and loans, Florida state assistance, college scholarships, or qualifying veteran and military education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and checking each program's eligibility rules are essential because an aid award can differ by enrollment level, residency, dependency status, and program.

What are the work-study opportunities at Florida Gateway College?

Florida Gateway College students can use career support while exploring paid work, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are not interchangeable. Work-Study is need-based federal aid that requires eligibility and an available position; an ordinary part-time job does not require a Work-Study award.

The college reports career resources that include individual career planning, résumé assistance, career-interest testing, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can help students search and prepare, but they do not constitute an employment offer. Students interested in Work-Study should review their financial-aid award and ask which positions are open, how to apply, and whether earnings are paid as wages rather than credited directly against a bill. An internship, where available, may have separate academic and program requirements; FGC does not require one of every student.
