Monmouth College

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

For the reported 2024-25 academic year, Monmouth College's full-time undergraduate tuition was $44,672, with $250 in required fees. The listed tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

• Tuition and required fees: $44,922
• Typical room and board: $11,802
• Estimated books and supplies: $900

Those listed amounts sum to $57,624 for an academic year, before transportation and personal expenses. It is a useful comparison figure, not a complete individual bill or a current-year price quote. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $1,396 per credit hour for the same period.

The amount a student pays after grants and scholarships can be substantially lower than the published price. Reported average net prices varied by family income: $12,400 for the lowest listed income group and $21,678 for families above $110,000. Averages are not individual aid offers, and loans reduce the amount due now without reducing the amount that must eventually be repaid.

Financial support may include federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, and federal loans, subject to eligibility and the applicable aid application process. The 2024-25 figures show that all students in the reported aid measure received financial aid, while 75% had student loans. The average undergraduate grant award from the reported sources was $37,183. Those statistics make it especially important to compare a personal aid offer with the full annual cost, including expenses outside the college bill. Eligible students using military education benefits should have the benefits and any institutional aid reviewed together.

What are the work-study opportunities at Monmouth College?

Monmouth students may seek campus employment while enrolled, but a student job, Federal Work-Study, and an internship serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that permits an eligible student to earn wages through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically or a guarantee of a position.

Students interested in work should check their financial aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and ask how campus openings are advertised. They should clarify expected hours, pay, and whether a job is available to students without Work-Study. Earnings generally arrive through wages as work is performed, so families should not assume the full potential amount will be deducted from the tuition bill at the start of a term.

Career development is a related but distinct resource. Reported services available to undergraduates include individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career exploration, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. Students can also ask about job listings and internship-search support. Access to these services should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
