Mount Saint Mary College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Mount Saint Mary College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Mount Saint Mary College was $41,820, with $1,630 in required fees. The same tuition and fee figures applied to in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. These are published charges before scholarships and grants, not necessarily what a student pays out of pocket.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $41,820 for 2024-25.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,630 for 2024-25.
• Typical room and board: $19,390 for the academic year.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,000.

Together, those listed items total about $63,840 for a student using the stated room-and-board figure. That is not a complete individual cost of attendance: transportation, personal expenses, and program-specific costs may add to it, while commuters may have different living expenses. Published charges can also change in later academic years.

Financial aid can materially change the calculation. In the reported aid data, 99% of students received some form of financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award across reported sources was $22,776. An income-group average net price - including living costs and accounting for grant aid - was $16,025 for families earning up to $48,000; it was $28,722 for families earning $75,001 to $110,000. Those averages are not personalized offers. Eligible students should use the FAFSA to establish eligibility for federal aid, check New York State aid requirements where applicable, and compare their own award letter against the college's current cost-of-attendance budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Mount Saint Mary College?

Mount Saint Mary College students can look for part-time work alongside their studies, but Federal Work-Study should not be mistaken for an automatic payment toward tuition. It is need-based federal aid awarded to eligible students; recipients generally earn wages by working an approved job, subject to their award and available positions.

A student should check their financial-aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and ask how the college posts and fills student positions. Ordinary campus employment may have different eligibility rules, while internships are primarily educational or career-building experiences and may be paid or unpaid. The college's career services - such as counseling, job listings, and employer events - can support a wider job search, including opportunities unrelated to Federal Work-Study.
