Hilbert College

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

Hilbert College's published undergraduate costs are substantially higher than tuition alone. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $30,760 and required fees were $2,980 for both New York and out-of-state students. Together, those listed charges total $33,740 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $33,740.
• Reported annual room-and-board charge: $15,670; a student's actual charge depends on housing and meal-plan choices.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $1,370 per credit hour in the reported 2024-25 figures, before applicable fees.

Adding the reported room-and-board figure to tuition and required fees gives approximately $49,410, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: it excludes other living and educational expenses and may not match a student's selected housing plan. Commuters should budget for transportation and meals rather than assuming that avoiding a residence-hall charge eliminates living costs.

Published charges also differ from net price, which reflects grants and scholarships in the applicable federal measure. Reported average net prices varied by family income; for families earning $48,000 or less, the figure was $20,389. Such averages are not individual aid offers. Hilbert's aid figures indicate that all students in the reported group received some form of financial aid, but 73% had student loans. Eligible students may seek federal and New York State aid, institutional scholarships, and, where applicable, military education benefits. Comparing itemized aid offers is essential because a loan lowers the amount due immediately but must generally be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Hilbert College?

Hilbert students may look for part-time employment while enrolled, but a campus job should not be assumed to come with admission or a financial-aid award. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program for eligible students; unlike a grant, its award is generally earned through paid work rather than credited in full to a tuition bill at the start of a term.

Students considering Work-Study should complete the financial-aid application process and ask the financial aid office whether they qualify, which positions are available, and how hiring works. Ordinary campus or off-campus part-time jobs may have different eligibility rules and funding. An internship is different again: it may provide academic credit, wages, both, or neither, depending on the position and program.

For career planning, Hilbert reports services including individual and group counseling, résumé and interview assistance, a job bank, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. These are resources students can use; they should not be confused with a guaranteed internship, job offer, or placement outcome.
