Franciscan University of Steubenville

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

Franciscan University is a private institution, so its published undergraduate tuition does not vary by Ohio residency. For the 2024-25 IPEDS reporting period, full-time undergraduate tuition was $33,500 and required fees were $600. The reported typical annual room charge was $5,850, with a typical board charge of $4,950.

Those four reported charges add to $44,900 for a student paying the stated tuition and fees and the stated typical housing and dining charges in that reporting period. That is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: books, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs would add to it. A commuter would have a different housing and food budget. Separately reported tuition figures for a later period should not be substituted into the 2024-25 calculation.

Published charges are also different from net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported income-band data, average net price was $18,616 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $25,675 for families above $110,000. These are group averages, not aid offers. The university reports that 99% of students in the relevant aid measure received financial aid, while 53% had student loans; receiving aid therefore does not necessarily mean graduating debt-free.

Eligible students may be considered for federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, federal loans, and applicable military education benefits. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the usual starting point for federal aid. Before accepting an offer, students should separate grants from loans, check whether scholarships renew and under what conditions, and compare the resulting annual budget with the cost of completing the entire degree.

What are the work-study opportunities at Franciscan University of Steubenville?

Franciscan students may combine academic study with campus employment and career-development services, but these are different opportunities. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program for eligible students; an award generally permits a student to earn wages through an approved job rather than providing the full award as an upfront tuition discount.

Students seeking work should review their financial-aid offer and the university's student-job postings, then confirm whether a position requires a Work-Study award or accepts other applicants. Job availability, schedules, and earnings depend on the position and hours worked. An ordinary part-time job or internship is not automatically Federal Work-Study.

For longer-term planning, reported career-center services include individual counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings and fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. These services can help a student explore a major or prepare applications, but they should not be read as a placement guarantee. Students in majors that require clinical, teaching, or other field experience should distinguish those academic placements from optional paid employment.
