Keystone College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Keystone College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $15,800, with $2,500 in required fees. The reported amounts were the same for Pennsylvania residents and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees therefore totaled $18,300 before living expenses and aid.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $18,300 for 2024-25.
• Typical room charge: $6,820 for the academic year.
• Typical board charge: $6,525 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $600.

Adding those reported items produces $32,245 for a student using the listed room and board charges. It is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs would add to it. A commuter's expenses would differ.

Federal reporting also shows that 91% of students received financial aid and 85% had student loans. Net price - the amount left after grant and scholarship aid - varies substantially by student circumstances. Students should compare an individualized aid offer with a current cost-of-attendance budget, separating grants from loans and checking whether the published 2024-25 charges have changed.

What are the work-study opportunities at Keystone College?

Students should distinguish Federal Work-Study from ordinary campus employment and internships. Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program: eligibility depends on an aid determination, and an award generally provides the opportunity to earn wages through an eligible job rather than an upfront reduction in the tuition bill.

A student offered Work-Study still needs to find an eligible position and complete its hiring requirements. A non-Work-Study part-time job may follow different rules and need not be tied to financial-aid eligibility. Applicants should ask the financial-aid and student-employment offices which positions are currently available, how jobs are posted, and whether any off-campus position qualifies.

Career development is a separate consideration. Before relying on a promised internship or job-search service, students should establish what advising, résumé assistance, employer contacts, and placement support their intended program actually offers.
