Franklin Pierce University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Franklin Pierce University?

Franklin Pierce is a private university, so its reported 2024-25 undergraduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students: $41,836 for a full-time academic year. Required fees were $4,606. Adding the reported typical room charge of $9,900 and board charge of $7,200 produces an illustrative $63,542 in tuition, required fees, housing, and dining for that reporting year.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $41,836.
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $4,606.
• Typical academic-year room and board, 2024-25: $17,100 combined.

That sum is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: books, transportation, personal expenses, and program-specific charges can add to it. Nor is it what every student pays after aid. Reported average net prices, which account for grant and scholarship aid, varied by family-income group; for families with income up to $48,000, the reported average was $23,557. An individual aid offer can differ considerably.

Financial aid is central to evaluating the price. Institutional reporting indicates that all students in the measured aid population received some financial aid, while 70% had student loans. The reported average grant award to undergraduate recipients was $34,672, but an average is not an award offer. Applicants should complete the FAFSA for federal aid consideration, review eligibility for university scholarships and applicable state assistance, and compare aid offers by separating grants from loans and work earnings. Eligible veterans and military-connected students should also confirm how education benefits interact with institutional aid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Franklin Pierce University?

Franklin Pierce students can explore part-time employment and career-development support, but Federal Work-Study, an ordinary campus job, and an internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid for eligible students who obtain an approved job; an award does not mean wages are paid without working or that a position is guaranteed. Other campus jobs may be available without Work-Study eligibility.

Students should check their financial aid offer and the university's current student-job postings for eligibility, hours, and application procedures. For longer-term planning, reported career-center services include individual career counseling, résumé and interview help, job listings, employer recruiting, career fairs, and alumni networking. Those services can support a job or internship search, but they should not be interpreted as a promise of employment. Internships are not reported as a university-wide graduation requirement; a particular major may set its own experiential requirements.
