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

Holy Family University is a private institution, and the reported 2024-25 undergraduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students: $34,080 for full-time study. Required fees added $1,250. Those are published charges before scholarships or grants, not the amount every student pays.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $35,330.
  • Reported annual room and board: $17,660 for a student using that housing-and-meal estimate.
  • Reported books and supplies: $1,322.

Adding those reported categories produces $54,312, but it is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs would be additional. Commuters and students with different living arrangements need a different budget. Graduate tuition and fees also follow a different schedule.

Aid can substantially change the price. For 2024-25, the reported average net price for families with annual income of $48,000 or less was $9,369; for families above $110,000, it was $17,822. Net price reflects cost after grant aid for the population measured, not an individual award. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $24,524, while 70% of students received student loans. Eligible students may be considered for federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, and loans, generally beginning with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. A personalized aid offer and cost-of-attendance budget are more useful than subtracting an average grant from sticker price.

What are the work-study opportunities at Holy Family University?

Student employment and Federal Work-Study are potential ways to help cover expenses while attending Holy Family University, but they should not be confused with grants or guaranteed income. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program: eligibility depends on a student's aid assessment and available funding, and an eligible student generally must find and perform an approved job to earn wages.

Other campus jobs may be available without a Work-Study award and can have different hiring and funding rules. Students should review their financial aid offer, ask the financial aid office how approved positions are advertised, and check schedules against class, clinical, or field-placement requirements. An internship may provide career experience, but it is not automatically paid employment or Federal Work-Study.

For longer-term planning, career-support questions should be specific: students can ask how to arrange career advising, where internships and employer opportunities are posted, and what resume, interview, or job-search assistance is available for their major. Access to a career service should not be mistaken for a verified job-placement outcome.
