Judson University

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

Judson charges the same reported full-time undergraduate tuition to Illinois and out-of-state students. For the 2024-25 reporting year, tuition was $29,237 and required fees were $1,060. Published charges are a starting point for budgeting, not necessarily what a student pays after grants and scholarships.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $29,237 for 2024-25.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,060 for 2024-25.
• Reported annual room and board: $12,420.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,270.

Those listed items add to $43,987 as an illustrative partial budget; transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges would increase a student's total cost of attendance. Actual housing and meal-plan choices also affect the bill. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $1,220 per credit hour, so a part-time student should build a budget around the courses they expect to take rather than the full-time tuition figure.

Financial aid changes the comparison. In the reported aid data, 98% of students received financial aid and 55% had student loans; the average undergraduate grant award was $19,647. Grants generally do not need repayment, while loans generally do. Reported average net prices varied by family-income group - for example, $18,010 for families earning no more than $48,000 and $21,515 for those earning above $110,000. Those are group averages, not individualized offers. Eligible students may be considered for federal and Illinois grants, institutional scholarships, and federal loans through the applicable aid processes; military education benefits depend on an individual's eligibility. A personalized aid offer is the soundest basis for comparing Judson's cost with another college's.

What are the work-study opportunities at Judson University?

Judson students can look for part-time employment alongside their studies, but a campus job should not be treated as guaranteed aid. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, provides an opportunity to earn wages through qualifying work; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term.

Students should ask the financial aid office how Work-Study eligibility is determined and where available positions are posted. They should also check whether jobs are open to students without Work-Study, since ordinary student employment and federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Hours, hiring decisions, and earnings depend on the position.

For longer-term career planning, Judson reports access to individual career counseling, résumé preparation, interview practice, career-interest testing, a job bank, job fairs, employer recruiting, and alumni networking. These services can help students search for internships or employment, but participation is distinct from a verified job outcome, and Judson does not report an internship requirement for every student.
