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

For 2024-25, Hampton University reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $27,482 and required fees of $3,110 for both Virginia and out-of-state students. Together, those published charges were $30,592 before housing, food, books, and other living expenses.

Reported room and board charges totaled $14,988 for the academic year, and books and supplies were estimated at $1,100. Adding those amounts to tuition and required fees produces $46,680, not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs may increase it. These figures should not be combined with a different year's published rates to describe one current bill.

The amount a student pays can differ substantially from the published cost. For 2024-25, 82% of students received financial aid, and the reported average grant award was $18,630 among recipients. Average net price was $14,207 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $31,528 for families above $110,000. Those are group averages, not individual offers.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants, loans, state programs, and institutional assistance through the applicable financial aid process. Hampton also reports use of military education benefits. Compare an actual aid offer with the full annual budget, noting whether each award is a grant, a loan that must be repaid, or employment income that must be earned.

What are the work-study opportunities at Hampton University?

Student employment can help with expenses, but it should not be treated as money already deducted from a tuition bill. Federal Work-Study, when awarded, is a need-based aid program under which an eligible student earns wages through an approved job; an ordinary campus job does not necessarily require a Work-Study award.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the required financial aid application, inspect their aid offer for eligibility, and ask Hampton's financial aid or student employment staff how approved positions are posted and paid. Job availability, schedules, and earnings depend on the position and award terms. Career-related internships are another possibility, but they have separate selection, academic-credit, and compensation rules.
