Florida Polytechnic University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total about $4,940 for Florida residents. The corresponding out-of-state total is about $21,004: although the tuition line is reported at the same amount, the nonresident required-fee line is much higher.

• Florida resident undergraduate tuition: $3,152; required fees: $1,788.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition: $3,152; required fees: $17,852.
• Reported annual room and board: about $15,011; books and supplies: about $858.

Adding those reported housing, meal, book and resident tuition-and-fee figures gives roughly $20,809; the comparable nonresident sum is roughly $36,873. These are not complete cost-of-attendance estimates: transportation, personal expenses and individual housing choices can change the budget. Nor should the figures be treated as a current bill without checking the university's latest published rates.

Financial aid can lower what a student pays. Reported average net prices were $8,769 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $15,037 for those in the $75,001-$110,000 income range. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for the measured group; an individual offer may differ. Eligible students can seek federal and state grants, institutional scholarships and federal loans by completing the required aid applications. Reported aid participation was 100% for the measured student group, but that does not mean every student received enough grants to cover all expenses.

What are the work-study opportunities at Florida Polytechnic University?

Florida Poly students can pursue paid work alongside their studies, but Federal Work-Study, ordinary student jobs and internships are different opportunities. Federal Work-Study depends on financial-aid eligibility and an available award; it is generally earned through hours worked rather than paid upfront as a grant.

Students should review their aid offer and ask the financial aid office how work-study positions are posted and whether an award is required before applying. Other campus jobs may not require work-study eligibility. An internship, which the university reports as a degree requirement, should be checked against the student's major rules; it should not be assumed to be paid or interchangeable with a campus job.

The career center reports access to individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings, fairs and employer recruitment. Those services can help with an internship or job search, but their availability is not an employment guarantee. Students should ask when their major recommends starting the internship search and what documentation earns academic credit.
