What is the cost of studying for a year at King's College?

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at King's College was $42,000, with $2,100 in required fees. The combined published tuition-and-fee figure was therefore $44,100 before housing, meals, books, transportation and personal expenses. The same reported tuition applied to in-state and out-of-state undergraduates.

That figure is not a complete annual cost of attendance or a prediction of what a particular student will pay. Living arrangements, course materials and other expenses add to the budget; grants and scholarships can reduce the amount a family must cover. Students should compare personalized aid offers using the net cost after grants and scholarships, then separately identify any loans or work earnings.

In the reported aid data, the average grant award from federal, state, local, institutional and other sources was $30,671. Average net price varied by family income: it was $17,259 for the lowest reported income band and $28,391 for families above $110,000. These are group averages, not awards available to every applicant. The same data indicate that 74% of students had student loans, making borrowing terms and total debt worth close attention.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Pennsylvania state aid and King's institutional scholarships through the applicable aid process. Completing the FAFSA and meeting any separate scholarship requirements are distinct steps. Veterans and eligible dependents should also ask how military education benefits interact with institutional aid; benefit eligibility and payment amounts depend on the individual's program and status.

What are the work-study opportunities at King's College?

King's College students can seek part-time work while enrolled, and eligible students may receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial aid offer. Work-Study is permission to earn wages through qualifying employment, not a grant paid automatically or a guarantee of a job.

Students should check their aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and the college's student-employment postings for open positions. Ordinary campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules. In either case, applicants should ask about weekly hours, scheduling around classes and whether a position requires a separate hiring process. Internships are another form of experience, but an internship is not necessarily paid or funded through Work-Study.

King's career services report individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer events and alumni networking. These services can support a search for internships or postcollege work; they should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome or a promise of employment.
