High Point University

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

High Point University is a private institution, so the reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees are the same for in-state and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, reported undergraduate tuition was $39,714 and required fees were $5,598, for a combined $45,312 before housing, food and other expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $39,714.
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $5,598.
• Reported room-and-board charge: $20,198; confirm the applicable year and housing or meal-plan option before using it in a personal budget.

Books and supplies, transportation, personal spending and any program-specific charges add to a student's budget. The room-and-board figure should not be combined with a different year's charges and presented as an official annual cost of attendance. The university's current cost-of-attendance budget and an individual financial aid offer are better tools for estimating a specific enrollment year.

Published charges are also different from net price, which reflects grant aid. Reported average net prices varied by family-income band: $31,937 for families earning no more than $48,000 and $41,994 for families earning above $110,000, with other income groups between those amounts. These are averages, not quotes for an applicant. Reported grant aid averaged $21,416 among undergraduate recipients, but awards and eligibility differ. Students should compare the total remaining cost and likely borrowing - not just a scholarship's headline amount - across their offers.

What are the work-study opportunities at High Point University?

High Point University students can pursue employment alongside their studies, but a student job, Federal Work-Study award and internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that generally requires eligibility through the federal aid application and payment for hours actually worked; it is not an automatic reduction in the tuition bill.

Students should check their financial aid offer to see whether they have a Work-Study award, then follow the university's student-employment process to find and apply for eligible positions. A Work-Study award by itself does not guarantee a job. Other campus positions may be available without a Work-Study award, subject to hiring rules and openings.

For career development, the university reports offering undergraduate career counseling, résumé preparation, interview practice, job fairs, employer recruitment and alumni networking opportunities. It does not require an internship of every student. Students seeking an internship should distinguish a credit-bearing academic placement from paid employment and confirm any major-specific requirements.
