Kent State University at Trumbull

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees at Kent State University at Trumbull total $8,211 for an Ohio resident and $17,969 for a nonresident. Those are published charges, not complete annual budgets or the amount every student pays after aid.

• Ohio-resident tuition: $8,105; reported required fees: $106.
• Nonresident tuition: $17,863; reported required fees: $106.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $800.

Students also need to budget for housing and food, transportation, and personal expenses. Those costs depend heavily on living arrangements and commuting distance; a room-and-board figure should not be mistaken for the price of a residence hall at Trumbull. Part-time students should compare their planned course load with the reported per-credit charges of $360 for Ohio residents and $742 for nonresidents, while checking the current term's bill for applicable fees.

Financial aid can change the amount paid. In the 2024-25 reporting, 95% of students received financial aid and 35% had student loans. Average net price, which reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid under the reporting methodology, was $10,077 for students from families earning $0-$48,000. It was $15,516 for the $75,001-$110,000 band. These are group averages, not personalized offers.

Eligible students can seek federal grants and loans, Ohio assistance and Kent State scholarships by completing the FAFSA and any scholarship applications required for a particular award. A financial aid offer is the better basis for comparing schools because grants, loans and work earnings have different implications for what a student ultimately owes.

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

Trumbull students may pursue student employment alongside classes, including positions for which eligibility is tied to Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: an award establishes eligibility to earn up to a stated amount through an approved job, rather than providing that amount automatically as a grant.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer and use Kent State's student-employment application process to look for openings. Ordinary campus jobs may have different eligibility rules and are not necessarily funded by Work-Study. Hours, hiring and earnings depend on available positions and the student's schedule.

Employment is also different from an internship required or encouraged by a major. For career planning, students can use Kent State's advising and career resources to explore occupations, prepare application materials and look for internships or employer events; participation in a service is not itself an employment outcome.
