Kent State University at Stark

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees at Kent State at Stark totaled $8,211 for in-state students and $17,969 for out-of-state students. Those figures combine the reported tuition with $106 in required fees; they are not a complete annual cost of attendance.

• In-state full-time undergraduate tuition: $8,105, plus $106 in required fees.
• Out-of-state full-time undergraduate tuition: $17,863, plus $106 in required fees.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $360 per credit hour in-state or $742 per credit hour out-of-state.

Students also need a budget for books, transportation, food, housing, and personal expenses. Because Stark does not operate undergraduate housing, a room-and-board allowance should not be mistaken for the price of a Stark residence hall or meal plan. The published cost of attendance used for aid planning may include such living allowances even for commuters.

IPEDS 2024-25 figures show that 89% of students received financial aid and 36% had student loans. The reported average grant award was $5,252; an average grant is not an amount every applicant will receive. For students in the reported family-income group of $0-$48,000, average net price was $8,216. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for the measured group, while an individual award depends on eligibility. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and review federal grants and loans, Ohio aid, Kent State scholarships, and applicable military education benefits.

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

Stark students can consider part-time work alongside classes, including student positions for which Kent State recruits. Federal Work-Study is a distinct form of need-based aid: eligibility is determined through the financial aid process, and an award generally permits a student to earn wages through an eligible job rather than providing the full award in advance.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and apply for positions through Kent State's student employment process. They should not assume that an award guarantees a job or that every campus opening is a Work-Study position. Ordinary part-time employment and internships have different eligibility and academic purposes. For career planning, students can also seek university career assistance with exploring majors, preparing applications, and finding internship or employment opportunities; availability of a particular service or event at Stark should be checked separately.
