For 2024-25, reported annual full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $9,578 for West Virginia residents and $11,354 for nonresidents. Those amounts do not include living expenses or books.
Adding those reported categories produces approximately $22,114 for an in-state student living on campus, or $23,890 for an out-of-state student. These are partial planning totals, not a full cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges can increase the amount. Commuters will have different living costs.
Published charges also differ from net price, which accounts for grant and scholarship aid. In 2024-25 reporting, the average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000 was $13,210. That average does not determine an individual award. Students should complete the FAFSA and review eligibility for federal grants and loans, West Virginia aid, university scholarships, and applicable veteran or military benefits. The reported share of students receiving some form of financial aid was 97%, while 43% had student loans; aid receipt alone does not show how much of a bill grants will cover.
Glenville State University students can explore part-time employment and career-development support while enrolled. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a need-based financial aid program that pays wages for qualifying work; it is not an upfront reduction of the tuition bill or a guarantee of a job.
Students seeking Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how available positions are advertised and filled. Other campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules. Before accepting either type of work, students should check expected hours against course and commuting schedules.
Career support is distinct from student employment. Reported services include individual career counseling for undergraduates, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest testing, job listings, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can help students search for internships and postgraduation work, but availability of a service is not an employment outcome.
