New College of Florida

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

For the reported 2025-26 academic year, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees were approximately $6,916 for Florida residents and $28,847 for nonresidents. The resident amount combines $5,227 in tuition and $1,689 in required fees; the nonresident amount combines $27,159 in tuition and $2,785 in fees. Residency classification therefore has a major effect on the published price.

Reported typical room and board charges totaled $14,249, while books and supplies were estimated at $1,200. Adding those items to tuition and required fees produces a partial annual estimate of about $22,365 for a resident living on campus, or $45,393 for a nonresident. Neither figure includes transportation, personal expenses, possible health-related costs or other items in an official cost-of-attendance budget. Students living elsewhere will have a different housing-and-food estimate.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. For the reported aid period, the average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $3,582; individual awards can differ substantially. New College reports federal, state and institutional grant aid, and eligible students may also use loans or qualifying military education benefits. Applicants should complete the FAFSA and review the college's current scholarship and Florida-aid requirements, then compare their individual aid offer with a current, itemized cost-of-attendance budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at New College of Florida?

New College students may combine study with part-time campus employment, and eligible students may be offered Federal Work-Study through financial aid. Work-Study is a need-based employment program: an award creates eligibility to earn wages in an approved job, not an automatic paycheck or a guaranteed position.

Students should ask the financial aid office whether their award includes Work-Study and where approved openings are posted. Other campus jobs may have different eligibility rules and may be open to students without a Work-Study award. Earnings from either kind of job depend on hiring, hours and pay rate; an internship, even when career-related, is not necessarily a Work-Study position or a paid job.

The career center also provides individual career planning, résumé and interview support, job-search resources and employer-facing opportunities. Those services can help students look for internships and work, but students should check whether a particular opportunity carries academic credit and how it fits around New College's contracts and thesis schedule.
