Loras College

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

Loras College charges the same published undergraduate tuition to Iowa residents and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $37,912, with $1,912 in required fees; those figures do not include living expenses.

• Tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $39,824.
• Typical room and board charges in the reported cost data: $11,776 for an academic year.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $600.

Those categories total $52,200, but that is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal spending, and any program-specific charges may add to it. Students should not combine these 2024-25 figures with a newer tuition quote and treat the result as a single-year budget.

Published price also differs from net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, the average grant award to undergraduates was $25,701; an average award is not an offer to every student. Loras reports that 100% of students received some form of financial aid and 58% had student loans. Eligible applicants should complete the FAFSA and review Loras scholarship and aid requirements, then compare their own aid offer and estimated borrowing - not only the sticker price - with other colleges.

What are the work-study opportunities at Loras College?

Loras students may be able to work in campus jobs, and eligible students may receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial aid offer. Federal Work-Study is earned through work; it is not a grant that automatically reduces a tuition bill.

A Work-Study award generally depends on financial need established through the FAFSA, available funding, and obtaining an eligible job. Students who are not offered Work-Study can still ask about other part-time openings. The financial aid office can explain employment eligibility and pay procedures, while campus job postings identify available positions.

Loras also reports career support that is distinct from student employment: individual and group career planning, résumé help, interview preparation, employer recruitment, job fairs, and assistance with job searches. A campus job or internship can provide experience, but neither should be confused with a verified postgraduation employment outcome.
