For the 2024-25 reporting year, Johnson C. Smith University listed full-time undergraduate tuition of $19,270 and required fees of $2,030, totaling $21,300 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $19,270.
• Required undergraduate fees: $2,030.
• Combined tuition and required fees: $21,300.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $888 per credit hour, before other applicable charges.

A complete cost-of-attendance budget is higher than tuition and fees alone. The amount depends in part on whether a student lives on campus, buys a meal plan, or commutes. Published charges are also different from net price, which reflects grants and scholarships but may still leave costs that families pay from earnings, savings, or loans.

Financial assistance can include federal grants for eligible students, state aid where applicable, institutional scholarships, and federal loans. In 2024-25 reporting, 99% of students received some form of financial aid, while 75% had student loans. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $16,611; an average is not an individual award offer. Students should complete the FAFSA and compare their own aid letter with the university's current full cost-of-attendance budget before deciding how much they would need to borrow. Eligible veterans and military-connected students should also have their education benefits reviewed by the university's veterans support office.

What are the work-study opportunities at Johnson C Smith University?

Johnson C. Smith University reports career counseling and job-search support for undergraduates, including résumé assistance, interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. These services help students pursue opportunities; they are not guarantees of an internship or job offer.

Students can use individual or group career planning, career-interest assessments, a job bank, and workshops. An internship is not a university-wide graduation requirement, although an individual program may require fieldwork or a placement. Students interested in career-related experience should ask their department whether an internship earns credit and whether it must be approved in advance.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's financial aid package, provides a chance to earn wages through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically or a guarantee of a position. Students should check their aid offer and ask the financial aid office how to find and apply for available jobs. Ordinary campus employment and off-campus part-time work can have different eligibility and funding rules.
