Meredith College

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

Meredith College's reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition was $45,460, with $170 in required fees. The reported in-state and out-of-state charges were the same. Tuition and required fees therefore totaled $45,630 before housing, meals, books, transportation, or personal expenses.

For the same reported cost period, room and board were $13,280 and books and supplies were estimated at $850. Adding those figures to tuition and required fees gives $59,760, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation and personal expenses still need to be considered. Part-time undergraduates were charged $1,127 per credit hour under the reported schedule. Prices can change between academic years, so applicants should use the rate for their actual entry year when comparing offers.

Published price is not the same as an individual student's bill after aid. Meredith reported average undergraduate grant aid of $33,316 from federal, state, local, institutional, and other sources. For students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $19,006. These are group averages, not an award or price available to every applicant.

Eligible students may seek federal and state grants, Meredith scholarships, federal loans, and applicable military education benefits. The FAFSA is a key step for federal aid eligibility, while institutional scholarships may have additional conditions. Reported figures show that 55% of students used student loans; unlike grants, loans generally must be repaid. Comparing personalized aid offers should include the amount of renewable grant aid, borrowing, and expenses not billed directly by the college.

What are the work-study opportunities at Meredith College?

Meredith students can pursue campus employment and, if eligible, Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program under which qualifying students earn wages through approved jobs; it is not a grant paid automatically or a promise of a position. Students generally need to complete the FAFSA, receive an eligible aid offer, apply for a job, and work the hours they are assigned.

An ordinary campus job may be available without a Work-Study award, depending on the position and employer. An internship is different again: its purpose is supervised professional experience, and it may be paid, unpaid, credit-bearing, or some combination under applicable rules. Meredith does not report an institution-wide internship requirement.

For career planning, Meredith reports individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment, a job bank, and alumni networking opportunities for undergraduates. Those services can help students explore a major or search for work; their availability should not be mistaken for a verified job-placement outcome.
