Marion Technical College

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees at Marion Technical College totaled $6,595 for an in-state student and $11,225 for an out-of-state student. These are published charges, not a complete annual budget or the amount every student ultimately pays.

• In-state full-time tuition: $5,970; required fees: $625.
• Out-of-state full-time tuition: $10,600; required fees: $625.
• Reported part-time tuition: $210 per credit hour in-state or $370 per credit hour out-of-state, before applicable fees.

Books, supplies, transportation, food, and housing must be budgeted separately. Program-specific expenses, such as equipment or clinical requirements, can also change the total. Because the college does not provide its own student housing, living costs depend on a student's circumstances rather than a standard residence-hall charge.

Net price estimates incorporate grant aid and other cost-of-attendance assumptions. In the same 2024-25 reporting data, average net price was $6,511 for students from families earning no more than $48,000 and $13,026 for those from families earning more than $110,000. These are group averages, not individual aid offers. The college's reported aid figures show that 87% of students received financial aid and 8% had student loans; students should use their own aid offer and living-cost estimate to make a personal budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Marion Technical College?

Marion Technical College students can use career services for job-search support, but paid employment, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program: an eligible student earns wages by working an approved job rather than receiving the full award automatically.

Students interested in Work-Study should submit the FAFSA and ask the financial aid office about eligibility, available positions, and hiring procedures. An ordinary part-time job does not require a Work-Study award. The college's reported career services include individual and group career planning, résumé preparation, career-interest testing, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services may help students seek work, but they do not guarantee a position or require every student to complete an internship.
