Gordon State College

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

For the reported 2025-26 academic year, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $3,628 for Georgia residents and $11,140 for out-of-state students. Those are published charges before grants or scholarships and exclude living expenses, books, transportation, and personal spending.

• Georgia-resident tuition: $2,616; required fees: $1,012.
• Out-of-state tuition: $9,936; required fees: $1,012.
• Typical academic-year room charge: $7,044; typical board charge: $3,400.

Adding the reported room and board charges to tuition and required fees produces $14,072 for a Georgia resident or $21,392 for an out-of-state student. Neither sum is a complete cost-of-attendance budget: books, travel, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges would increase it. A commuter's housing costs may look different, but should not be treated as zero.

Published price also differs from net price, which accounts for grant aid in the applicable calculation. The reported average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000 was $6,817; an individual award can differ substantially. The college reports that 94% of students received financial aid and 36% had student loans. Eligible students may combine federal grants, Georgia aid, institutional scholarships, veteran benefits, work earnings, and loans, depending on their circumstances. Completing the appropriate financial aid application and checking state and college eligibility rules is essential; receiving "aid" does not necessarily mean receiving grant money that need not be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Gordon State College?

Gordon State College students can look for employment alongside their studies, but Federal Work-Study, other part-time jobs, and internships are distinct opportunities. Federal Work-Study depends on financial eligibility and an available award; it is generally earned through qualifying work rather than deducted automatically from a tuition bill.

Students seeking campus work should check current vacancies and ask financial aid whether their award includes Work-Study. A student without that award may still be eligible for another advertised position. In either case, hours, hiring requirements, and available jobs can vary by term; a job offer is not a condition of admission.

For longer-term career planning, the college reports services including individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, job listings, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Those services can help students explore options and apply for work, but their availability should not be confused with a verified employment outcome or a guaranteed internship.
