La Salle University

What is the cost of studying for a year at La Salle University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $36,000, with required fees of $1,800; the listed in-state and out-of-state charges were the same. Typical annual room and board charges were $18,930, and reported books and supplies were $1,000.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees: $37,800.
• Typical room and board: $18,930.
• Books and supplies: $1,000.

Together, those reported items total $57,730 for an academic year. This is an illustrative sum, not a complete personal cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, course-specific charges, and individual housing or meal choices can change the total. Graduate and part-time students face different rates.

Published charges are also not the same as net price. Reported average net price was $17,393 for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less, compared with $27,190 for those from families above $110,000. Those are averages for defined groups, not quotes for a new applicant. The university reported substantial grant aid, and eligible students may also use federal grants and loans, Pennsylvania state assistance, institutional scholarships, or qualifying military education benefits. Completing the required aid applications and comparing an individual award letter with the full expense budget is the reliable way to estimate what a student would pay.

What are the work-study opportunities at La Salle University?

Students can pursue part-time work and career development at La Salle, but Federal Work-Study, an ordinary campus job, and an internship serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that permits eligible students to earn wages through approved employment; an award is not an upfront reduction of the tuition bill or a guarantee of a position.

Students interested in Work-Study should submit the FAFSA, review their financial aid offer, and follow La Salle's process for finding and applying to approved jobs. Other campus positions may have different eligibility rules. Off-campus employment may provide income but should not be assumed to qualify for Federal Work-Study.

La Salle's career center offers resources such as individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings and fairs, employer recruitment, and opportunities to connect with alumni. These services can help students explore majors, seek internships, or prepare applications; an internship is not required of every student, and career support should not be confused with a verified employment outcome.
