For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at IWU-Marion was the same for in-state and out-of-state students: $32,104. Required fees added $248. These are published charges before grants and scholarships, not what every student paid.
The combined figure is an illustration using charges from the same reporting year, not an individualized financial-aid offer or a complete cost-of-attendance budget. For students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $14,896; for the $75,001-$110,000 income band, it was $22,336. Net price reflects aid and averages across students, so an applicant's result can differ substantially.
IPEDS aid figures show that all students in the reported aid cohort received some form of financial aid, while 71% had student loans. Grants do not ordinarily require repayment; loans do. Eligible students may be considered for federal, Indiana state, and institutional assistance, generally beginning with the FAFSA and any university scholarship steps. Compare aid offers by separating grants from borrowing and by checking whether awards renew for later years.
Student employment can help with expenses, but it should not be counted as money available before a student works and is paid. Federal Work-Study, when awarded, is a need-based aid program involving a job; an ordinary campus part-time job is employment even if it is not funded through Work-Study.
Applicants interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA and review their aid offer for eligibility. For either type of job, the useful questions are how positions are posted, whether first-year students may apply, what hours are available, and whether earnings are paid to the student or applied through another arrangement. An internship may offer career experience but is not automatically paid or part of a Work-Study award.
For longer-term planning, IWU reports career-center services including individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview workshops, career-interest testing, a job bank, job fairs, employer recruiting, and alumni networking. Availability of these services is not an employment-outcome statistic.
