Florida State College at Jacksonville

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

FSCJ's published undergraduate charges are considerably different for Florida residents and nonresidents. In the 2024-25 cost data, average full-time in-state tuition was $2,095, with $562 in required fees; the corresponding out-of-state amounts were $7,947 in tuition and $1,684 in fees.

• Florida resident: $2,657 in tuition and required fees using those 2024-25 figures.
• Nonresident: $9,631 in tuition and required fees using those 2024-25 figures.
• Books and supplies: a separately reported $1,800 estimate.
• Room and board: a separately reported $16,104 annual figure, which should not be mistaken for a charge every student pays to FSCJ.

These figures do not constitute a complete, individualized cost of attendance. Transportation, personal expenses, course-specific materials, and a student's actual housing arrangement also matter. Florida residency is determined under tuition-classification rules, not simply by having a Florida mailing address; part-time students and students in particular programs may see different charges.

Financial aid changes the comparison. In the 2024-25 institutional figures, 71% of students received some form of aid and 19% had student loans. Reported average net price - the estimated cost after grant and scholarship aid - was $3,202 for families in the $0-$48,000 income band and $5,508 for those in the $48,001-$75,000 band. Those are group averages, not individual quotes. Eligible students can explore the FAFSA, federal grants and loans, Florida aid programs, FSCJ scholarships, and applicable military or veteran education benefits; eligibility and award amounts vary.

What are the work-study opportunities at Florida State College at Jacksonville?

FSCJ students can explore paid work while enrolled, including positions that may be funded through Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: eligibility generally depends on the FAFSA and the college's award and hiring processes, and an award does not itself guarantee a job.

Students can also seek regular part-time employment, which is distinct from Work-Study and may have different eligibility rules. An internship is different again: it is primarily a structured learning or career-development experience and may be paid or unpaid depending on the position. FSCJ does not require an internship of every student, although an individual program may include one.

For a broader job search, FSCJ reports career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, job listings, and job fairs. Students seeking campus employment should check current vacancies and ask financial aid whether a Work-Study award is available to them; students seeking experience in a particular field can also ask their academic program about internships and employer contacts.
