Niagara University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $37,190, with $2,155 in required fees, for $39,345 before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses. The reported undergraduate tuition and required fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

• Tuition and required fees: $40,180.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $13,740.
• Reported books and supplies cost: $530.

Together, those reported figures total $53,615, but they are not a complete individual cost-of-attendance budget: travel, personal costs, and program-specific expenses may add to it. A commuter's housing and food costs will also differ from a resident's. Students should use their own aid offer and the university's current published budget rather than treating this illustrative sum as their bill.

Grant aid can substantially change the price paid. Reported average net prices ranged from $11,510 for students in the lowest listed family-income band to $22,990 in the highest; a net price is an average after grant aid, not an individual quote. Reported figures also indicate that 54% of students received student loans. Eligible students may draw on federal or state grants, institutional scholarships, and military education benefits, but eligibility and application requirements vary. The aid offer should make clear which amounts are grants, which are loans, and which depend on working.

What are the work-study opportunities at Niagara University?

Niagara University students may seek part-time employment while enrolled, including campus positions. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, is a form of employment assistance rather than money automatically deducted from tuition.

A student with Work-Study must still find an eligible job, work the hours, and receive wages under the program's rules. Students without a Work-Study award may be able to apply for other positions, depending on openings and employer requirements. Career-related work, internships, and ordinary part-time jobs should be compared separately: they may differ in pay, academic credit, scheduling, and eligibility. The financial aid and student employment offices can clarify which posted positions accept Work-Study funding.
