Fort Valley State University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Fort Valley State University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees totaled approximately $5,526 for Georgia residents and $16,878 for nonresidents at Fort Valley State University. Those amounts cover neither housing nor the full cost of attending college.

• Georgia-resident undergraduate tuition: $4,176; required fees: $1,350.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition: $15,528; required fees: $1,350.
• Typical annual room and board charges: $11,110 combined.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,400.

Adding those reported categories produces roughly $18,036 for a Georgia resident living on campus, or $29,388 for a nonresident, before transportation and personal expenses. These are illustrations using the same reporting-year figures, not complete official cost-of-attendance budgets or individual bills. Housing choices, meal plans, credit loads, and residency decisions can change the result.

Financial aid can reduce the amount a student pays, but a loan reduces an immediate bill by creating a repayment obligation. In the reported aid figures, 98% of students received some form of financial aid and 68% had student loans. Average net price also varied by family income: it was $9,021 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $11,502 for those in the $48,001-$75,000 band. Net price is an average after grant aid, not a quote for a particular applicant.

Eligible students may be able to combine federal grants, Georgia aid programs, university scholarships, and other assistance. Completing the FAFSA and checking FVSU's scholarship and financial aid requirements are the practical starting points. Students should compare their own aid offer with an up-to-date university cost-of-attendance budget, particularly if they will live off campus or pay nonresident tuition.

What are the work-study opportunities at Fort Valley State University?

Fort Valley State University students can explore student employment alongside academic study, but Federal Work-Study, other part-time jobs, and internships operate differently. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students; it generally pays wages for work performed rather than appearing as an automatic tuition discount.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how positions are posted and whether an award is required before applying. An award does not itself guarantee a job. Other campus or local jobs may have different eligibility rules and may be available to students who do not qualify for Work-Study.

For longer-term career planning, FVSU reports services including individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, job fairs, and employer recruitment. These services can support a search for work or an internship, but they should not be confused with a guaranteed placement or verified employment outcome.
