Kent State University at Ashtabula

What is the cost of studying for a year at Kent State University at Ashtabula?

For IPEDS 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $8,211 for an Ohio resident: $8,105 in tuition and $106 in fees. The corresponding out-of-state total is $17,969, consisting of $17,863 in tuition and the same reported fees. These published charges are not a complete cost-of-attendance budget.

• Reported part-time tuition is $360 per credit hour for in-state undergraduates and $742 per credit hour for out-of-state undergraduates.
• Reported books and supplies average $800; transportation, food and other personal expenses depend substantially on the student's circumstances.
• A reported room-and-board figure of $14,920 should not be mistaken for a guaranteed Ashtabula residence-hall or meal-plan charge.

Financial aid changes what an individual ultimately pays. The reported average net price is $9,318 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $13,166 for those in the $48,001-$75,000 band. Net price is an average after grant and scholarship aid, not a quote for a particular applicant; it can include living expenses as well as billed college charges.

Reported aid figures show that 92% of students received financial aid and 38% had student loans. Eligible students may use federal or state grants, Kent State scholarships, loans and qualifying military education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing Kent State's scholarship and aid deadlines are the practical first steps toward an individualized estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at Kent State University at Ashtabula?

Eligible Ashtabula students can explore student employment through Kent State, including Federal Work-Study positions when awarded as part of a financial aid package. Work-Study is a chance to earn wages from an eligible job; it is not an upfront tuition discount or a guarantee of employment.

Students should use Kent State's student-employment listings and financial aid information to check openings, application steps and whether a position requires Work-Study eligibility. Ordinary part-time campus jobs may have different funding rules. A job connected to a major can provide experience, but it should not be confused with a required internship or a verified postgraduation employment outcome.
