For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Kent State University at East Liverpool was $8,105 for Ohio residents and $17,863 for nonresidents. Reported required fees were $106 in either category, making tuition plus those fees $8,211 or $17,969, respectively.
Those tuition-and-fee amounts are not a complete annual budget. Students also need to account for housing or household expenses, food, transportation, personal costs and any program-specific charges. A university-wide room-and-board estimate should not be mistaken for the price of a residence hall at East Liverpool.
Financial aid can change what a student pays. In 2024-25 data, reported average net price for students from families earning $48,001-$75,000 was $12,226; net price is a measure of cost after grant and scholarship aid, not a tuition quote. Reported aid participation was high, while 28% of students in the relevant measure received student loans. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants, Ohio aid, Kent State scholarships and federal loans after completing the FAFSA and any additional required steps. An individual aid offer is more useful for budgeting than an institutional average.
East Liverpool students can look for paid student work through Kent State's employment resources. Federal Work-Study, when awarded, is a need-based financial aid program that supports qualifying jobs; it is not a grant paid automatically and does not guarantee placement.
Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer and apply for available positions. Other part-time student jobs may be open without a Work-Study award. For career-related experience, Kent State's university-wide career resources can help students explore majors, prepare résumés, search for jobs and internships, and practice interviewing, although particular appointments or employer events may be held online or at another campus.
A clinical placement, internship and paid campus job serve different purposes. Students in a career-focused major should ask whether required fieldwork is paid, how it is arranged and whether travel to a placement site is expected.
