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

For the reported 2024-25 academic year, Manchester's full-time undergraduate tuition was $35,800, with $1,335 in required fees for both in-state and out-of-state students. Those are published charges before scholarships and other aid, not an estimate of what every family pays.

• Tuition and required fees: $37,135 for the reported academic year.
• Typical room and board: $13,120 for the reported academic year.
• Books and supplies: approximately $1,000 for the reported academic year.

Adding those categories produces about $51,255 for a student using the listed housing and dining estimate. It is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific costs would add to it. Living arrangements also affect the total. Graduate and professional tuition follows different schedules; the reported full-time graduate tuition figure was $18,025, before its required fees.

Financial aid changes the comparison. In the reported aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award was $28,464. A grant does not normally have to be repaid, unlike a loan, but the average award is not what every applicant will receive. Reported average net prices ranged from $16,109 for families with income up to $48,000 to $26,151 for families with income above $110,000. Those income-band averages include aid and should not be subtracted again from the published charges. An applicant's own aid offer and cost-of-attendance budget are the appropriate basis for comparing schools.

What are the work-study opportunities at Manchester University?

Manchester students can combine part-time employment, career advising and academic study, but these serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial aid program that provides eligible students an opportunity to earn wages through approved jobs; it is not an upfront reduction in the tuition bill or a guarantee of a position.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the applicable financial aid application, review their individual aid offer and ask the financial aid or student employment office how jobs are posted and filled. Other campus jobs may be open to students without a Work-Study award. In either case, wages generally depend on hours worked. Federal grants, Indiana aid for eligible residents, institutional scholarships and federal loans may also be part of a financial aid package; borrowing must be repaid under the loan's terms.

Manchester also reports career services available to undergraduates, including individual career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment and job fairs. Its reported services include alumni networking and mentoring opportunities. These resources can support a job or internship search, but their availability is not evidence that every participant receives an offer. An internship is not a university-wide requirement, although an individual major may require experiential work.
