North Carolina A & T State University

What is the cost of studying for a year at North Carolina A & T State University?

For the 2025-26 reporting year, North Carolina A&T's published full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $6,813 for North Carolina residents and $20,873 for nonresidents. Residency classification therefore makes a substantial difference before housing, food or other expenses enter the calculation.

• Resident undergraduate tuition: $3,540; required fees: $3,273.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition: $17,400; required fees: $3,273.
• Reported annual room and board: $9,138; books and supplies: $1,500.

Adding those reported categories produces $17,451 for a resident or $31,311 for a nonresident, but neither figure is a complete cost-of-attendance budget. Transportation, personal expenses and other applicable costs can raise the amount; housing and meal choices also vary. Students should use the university's budget for their enrollment year and circumstances rather than combine these 2024-25 amounts with prices from another year.

Published charges are different from net price, an average calculated after grant aid. Reported average net price varies by family income: it is $9,462 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $17,311 for those above $110,000. Those averages are not individualized aid offers. The financial aid figures show that 94% of students received some form of aid and 55% had student loans, making the type of assistance - not just its total - important to compare. Eligible students can seek federal grants and loans, North Carolina aid, university scholarships and applicable military education benefits through the relevant aid processes.

What are the work-study opportunities at North Carolina A & T State University?

North Carolina A&T students may pursue part-time employment, including Federal Work-Study positions for those who qualify. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program that pays students for hours worked; an award is not an upfront reduction of a tuition bill and does not guarantee a particular job.

Eligibility generally begins with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, followed by the university's aid determination and a separate job application. Other campus jobs may be available without a Work-Study award. Students should check position requirements, expected weekly hours and whether a job is on campus or with an approved outside employer before building its earnings into a budget.

A&T also reports career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment and job-search resources for undergraduates. Those services can support searches for internships and postgraduation work, but they are distinct from paid student employment, and an internship is not required of every student.
