Minot State University

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

For the reported 2024-25 academic year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $7,168 for both North Dakota residents and out-of-state students, with $1,534 in required fees. That puts reported tuition and mandatory fees at $8,702 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal spending.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $8,702.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $9,420.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,000.

Together, those reported categories amount to $19,122, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs can add to it. Students living off campus should replace the room-and-board figure with their own realistic housing and food estimate rather than add both amounts.

Published charges differ from net price, which accounts for grant and scholarship aid. Reported average net price was $10,388 for students from families with annual income up to $48,000 and $15,632 for those from families above $110,000. These are group averages, not quotes for a particular applicant.

Financial aid may include federal grants for eligible students, state assistance, institutional scholarships, and federal loans. About 95% of students in the reported aid measure received some form of financial aid, while 36% had student loans; "aid" therefore does not necessarily mean a grant that need not be repaid. Applicants should submit the FAFSA for aid requiring it and check scholarship applications and deadlines separately. Eligible military-connected students should also ask how education benefits interact with other aid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Minot State University?

Minot State students can seek part-time work while enrolled, but a job should not be assumed to come automatically with admission or a financial aid offer. Federal Work-Study, when awarded to an eligible student, is a form of aid earned through approved employment rather than a grant paid in full at the start of a term.

Work-Study eligibility is generally assessed through the FAFSA and depends on available funding and the student's aid package. Students without a Work-Study award may still qualify for ordinary campus jobs, subject to each employer's hiring rules. An internship differs from either arrangement: its main purpose is supervised experience, and its pay and academic-credit rules vary by position and program.

Students can use Minot State's career services for job-search help, résumé preparation, interview practice, and employer events. Those seeking work should review current campus postings, confirm whether a position requires Work-Study eligibility, and check how expected hours would fit their courses.
