Grove City College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Grove City College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $21,700 for both Pennsylvania residents and students from other states, with no separate required-fee amount in that reporting. Tuition is only one part of the annual budget.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $21,700.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $12,720.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $700.

Those components total $35,120 before transportation, personal expenses, and any student-specific charges. The room-and-board figure is a reported charge, not a price quote for every room or meal arrangement. A separate annual tuition listing of $22,570 reflects a different reporting point and should not be substituted into the 2024-25 total without updating the other components as well.

Published cost is not the same as an individual net cost after scholarships or grants. In 2024-25 financial-aid reporting, 77% of students received financial aid, and the reported average grant award to undergraduate recipients from the measured sources was $8,950. An average award is not a promise to a new applicant. Grove City does not participate in federal student aid programs, so families should ask specifically about its institutional aid application, available scholarships, and payment options rather than budgeting for a federal Pell Grant or Direct Loan through the college.

What are the work-study opportunities at Grove City College?

Grove City students may seek part-time employment, but an ordinary campus job should not be confused with Federal Work-Study. Because the college does not participate in federal student aid programs, students should not assume a Federal Work-Study award will fund employment there.

Campus positions, when available, offer wages for work performed rather than an automatic reduction in tuition. Students should ask the offices that hire student workers how openings are posted, whether a position requires a particular skill or schedule, and when wages are paid. Career-related internships are another possibility, but the college does not require an internship of every student; an internship's academic credit and compensation terms depend on the position and program.
