Linfield University

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

Linfield's published price is substantially higher than the amount some students pay after grants and scholarships. Using the reported 2024-25 undergraduate figures, full-time tuition was $50,324 and required fees were $1,412; the same reported rates applied to in-state and out-of-state students.

• Tuition and required fees: $51,736 for the academic year.
• Typical room and board charges: $15,160 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $400 for the academic year.

Those items total $67,296, but that is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses and program-specific charges may add to it. It also is not a quote for a later academic year. Commuters and online students may face different housing or program charges.

Financial aid can change the calculation considerably. Reported average net prices by family income range run from $18,664 for families earning up to $48,000 to $32,519 for families earning above $110,000. Averages are not individual awards. Linfield's aid reporting shows extensive grant assistance, but it also reports that 84% of students received student loans. Eligible students may combine institutional aid with federal or Oregon aid after completing the relevant financial-aid applications; veterans should also confirm how their education benefits apply to their program. The most useful comparison is each student's current aid offer against the full estimated cost for their campus and living arrangement.

What are the work-study opportunities at Linfield University?

Linfield students may seek campus jobs, while eligible students may also qualify for Federal Work-Study through their financial-aid package. Work-Study is permission to earn wages in qualifying employment, not a grant automatically paid against tuition; students generally must find a position, work the hours and receive wages through payroll.

Ordinary student jobs do not necessarily require Work-Study eligibility. Students should check Linfield's student-employment postings and financial-aid instructions for the positions and rules that apply to them. A campus job can provide income or experience, but available hours and earnings should not be treated as a guaranteed way to close a financing gap.

For longer-term career planning, Linfield reports individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career exploration, job listings, employer events and alumni networking. These services support a job search; their availability is not an employment outcome or a promise of placement.
