Madonna University

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

For 2025-26, the reported full-time undergraduate tuition figure was $29,580 for both Michigan and out-of-state students, with no separately reported required fees. Reported room and board totaled $13,640 for an academic year, and estimated books and supplies added $688.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $28,440.
• Typical room and board: $13,640.
• Estimated books and supplies: $688.
• Combined amount for those three categories: $42,768, before transportation and personal expenses.

That combined amount is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget or a bill every student will receive. Commuters may have different food and transportation costs; housing choices and course-specific materials can also change expenses. A separate, more recent reported tuition figure is $29,580, so students budgeting for an upcoming year should use the university's published charges for their actual entry term rather than treating the 2024-25 estimate as a current quote. Part-time and graduate pricing follows different rates.

Aid changes what students ultimately pay. In the 2024-25 aid figures, 98% of students received financial aid and 55% had student loans; the average undergraduate grant award was $16,388. Grants generally do not require repayment, while loans do. Reported average net prices varied by family income: $15,277 for families earning up to $48,000 annually and $22,005 for those earning more than $110,000. Those are averages after aid, not individual offers. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and review federal and Michigan aid, Madonna scholarships, and any applicable military education benefits with the financial aid office.

What are the work-study opportunities at Madonna University?

Students considering a part-time job should distinguish Federal Work-Study from other student employment. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program for eligible students; an award indicates potential earnings through a qualifying job, not money automatically credited in full to a tuition bill. Ordinary campus or off-campus jobs may have different eligibility and hiring rules.

To plan realistically, students should ask Madonna's financial aid office whether Work-Study is included in their award and where available positions are posted. They should also check the job's weekly hours against class, lab, and clinical schedules. Internships and practicums are different again: some are required for academic credit, some are paid, and neither should be assumed to qualify as Work-Study.

For career planning beyond a student job, students can ask the university's career-services staff or their academic department about current help with résumés, interviews, internship searches, employer connections, and major exploration. The availability of a service should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome. Students in professionally focused majors should also ask when field placements begin and who is responsible for arranging them.
