Marist University

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

Marist charges private-university tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. For 2024-25, the reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $46,920, with $700 in required fees. Those charges are only part of the annual cost of attending.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition: $46,920 for both New York and out-of-state students.
• 2024-25 required undergraduate fees: $700.
• Separately reported room and board: $22,100 for an academic year; this figure should not be treated as a 2024-25 charge or added to the earlier-year tuition as though both came from one budget.
• Separately reported books and supplies: $1,225; students' actual spending can differ by course.

A full cost-of-attendance budget also accounts for expenses such as transportation and personal spending. It can change with housing choice, meal plan, enrollment level, and academic program. The published price is therefore different from both an official student-specific budget and the amount due after grants and scholarships.

Financial aid can include institutional merit or need-based awards, federal grants and loans for eligible students, and New York State assistance for those who qualify. Students generally need to complete the FAFSA for federal aid and should check Marist's current instructions for institutional aid and priority dates. Military and veteran education benefits may offer another funding route for eligible applicants. Reported aid figures indicate that 97% of students received financial aid, but receiving some aid does not mean the full cost was covered.

Reported average net prices - which estimate cost after grant and scholarship aid for students in specified family-income groups - were $27,200 for families earning up to $48,000 and $42,001 for families earning $75,001 to $110,000. These are group averages, not aid offers. A prospective student's award letter is the appropriate place to compare grants, loans, work-study eligibility, and the amount the family would still need to pay.

What are the work-study opportunities at Marist University?

Marist students can pursue part-time employment while studying, and eligible students may receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial aid offer. Work-Study is a need-based federal student-employment program: an award creates eligibility to earn wages through qualifying work, not an automatic payment or a guaranteed job.

Students should distinguish Work-Study positions from other campus jobs, off-campus part-time work, and internships. Each can provide experience and income, but only an eligible position paid under the program counts toward a Federal Work-Study award. The financial aid and student-employment offices can explain how Marist posts openings, hiring requirements, and the hours or earnings limits attached to an award.

For longer-term career planning, Marist offers individual career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking opportunities. Internship support and career exploration can be useful even to students who are not eligible for Work-Study. An internship is not a university-wide graduation requirement, although a particular program may have its own experiential-learning rules.
