• Florida resident, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2025-26: approximately $2,764.
• Nonresident, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2025-26: approximately $9,868.
• Reported part-time tuition charge: $104 per credit hour for residents and $390 per credit hour for nonresidents; applicable fees may add to those amounts.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,350, although actual spending depends on courses and materials.

A full cost-of-attendance budget also accounts for food, housing, transportation, and personal expenses. IRSC does not operate undergraduate housing, so a living-expense estimate should not be mistaken for the price of a college residence hall. Financial aid can reduce a student's net cost: among reported income groups, the average net price was $3,525 for families with annual income of $48,000 or less. An individual award depends on eligibility, enrollment, residency, and the student's circumstances.

Eligible students can seek assistance through the FAFSA, including federal grants, loans, and potentially work-study, as well as applicable Florida programs and institutional scholarships. In the 2024-25 figures, 89% of students received some form of financial aid, while 4% received student loans. Those percentages describe aid use, not what a new applicant will be awarded. Students using veterans' education benefits should have the college certify their eligible enrollment and check which charges their particular benefit covers.

What are the work-study opportunities at Indian River State College?

Indian River State College students can pursue part-time employment while studying, but a Federal Work-Study award is different from a job guarantee. Work-study is a need-based federal aid program: eligible students must receive an award, find a qualifying position, and earn wages for hours worked.

Students should review their financial aid offer and ask the financial aid office how IRSC advertises eligible work-study jobs. Ordinary campus jobs and positions with local employers may have different hiring rules and do not necessarily require work-study eligibility. The college's career services also offer practical job-search support, including résumé preparation, job listings, employer connections, and career counseling. Those services can help students pursue employment or internships, but they are not verified employment outcomes and do not mean an internship is required of every student.
