Indiana University-Kokomo

What is the cost of studying for a year at Indiana University-Kokomo?

For the 2025-26 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $8,424 for Indiana residents and $23,032 for out-of-state students. Tuition and fees are only part of the amount a student may need for a year of study.

• Indiana resident undergraduate tuition: $7,717, plus $707 in required fees.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $22,104, plus $707 in required fees.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,290.
• Reported room-and-board allowance: $11,324; this is a living-cost estimate, not a charge for an IU Kokomo residence hall.

Using those reported allowances gives an illustrative resident total of $21,038 before transportation and other personal expenses; it is not a complete individualized cost-of-attendance quote. Commuters' actual living costs vary substantially. Students should also avoid adding the $707 fee a second time when using the combined tuition-and-fees figure.

Financial aid can change the amount paid. Eligible students may use federal grants and loans, Indiana grant programs, institutional scholarships, and applicable veteran or military education benefits. In the reported aid data, 90% of students received some form of financial aid, and 30% had student loans. The average net price for students from families earning $48,001-$75,000 was $2,375 in the reported income group; net price is an average after grant aid, not an offer to an individual. Filing the FAFSA and reviewing campus scholarship deadlines are the practical first steps toward an applicant-specific estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at Indiana University-Kokomo?

IU Kokomo students may seek part-time work alongside their studies, including campus positions when available. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program rather than a promise of a job: eligibility generally depends on the FAFSA and the student's aid offer, and wages are earned through approved work.

Students without Work-Study eligibility can still look for ordinary part-time openings. Campus hiring processes, available hours, and positions differ by office and term. An internship is another distinct arrangement; it may provide academic credit, wages, both, or neither, depending on the opportunity. IU Kokomo's career support includes individual career planning, interest exploration, interview preparation, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Students seeking work should ask the financial aid office how a Work-Study award operates and use the campus employment and career channels to identify actual openings.
