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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Lackawanna College was $17,450, with $950 in required fees, for a combined $18,400 before living and other expenses. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Part-time tuition was reported at $625 per credit hour; part-time students should check which additional fees apply.

  • Full-time tuition and required fees: $18,400 for 2024-25.
  • Reported room and board: $12,710 for an academic year.
  • Reported books and supplies: $1,500 for an academic year.

Adding those three reported categories produces $32,610, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges may add to it. Nor should every commuter add room and board at the reported residential rate. Average net price - the amount remaining after applicable grant and scholarship aid - varies by family income; the reported average was $18,288 for students in the lowest listed income band. An individual aid offer, living arrangement, and course load are more useful for budgeting than a published average alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lackawanna College?

Lackawanna College students can pursue part-time work alongside classes, but employment, Federal Work-Study, and an academic internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job; an award does not itself place a student in a position or pay out before hours are worked.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask financial aid how eligible positions are posted and hired. Other campus or local jobs may be available without a Work-Study award. For career-related experience, the college reports services including individual career counseling, résumé preparation, interview practice, job listings, employer recruitment, and job fairs. The college does not report an internship requirement for every student, so applicants should check their particular curriculum.
