Paul Quinn College

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Paul Quinn College was $8,898, with $4,600 in required fees. The combined published tuition-and-fee amount was therefore $14,458 for the academic year, the same reported amount for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $8,898.
• Required undergraduate fees: $4,600.
• Typical annual room charge: $5,100.
• Typical annual board charge: $5,050.

Adding the reported room and board charges to tuition and fees gives $23,648. That is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: books, transportation, personal expenses, and other applicable costs would increase it. A commuter's expenses will differ from those of a resident. Part-time undergraduates were charged a reported $370 per credit hour, but should check which fees still apply.

Financial aid can substantially change the amount a student pays. Reported average net prices by family-income bracket ranged from $12,053 for the lowest-income bracket shown to $18,556 for families above $110,000. A net price is a historical average after grant aid, not a personalized offer. The college's current cost-of-attendance budget and an individual aid award are the appropriate documents for estimating what to pay or borrow.

Federal and state grants, institutional assistance, scholarships, and federal student loans may be part of an eligible student's aid package. Students generally need to complete the FAFSA for federal aid and should check any college or state deadlines. In the reported aid figures, 83% of students in the measured group received student loans. That makes it particularly important to distinguish grant aid, which generally does not need repayment, from loans.

What are the work-study opportunities at Paul Quinn College?

Employment is a defining feature of Paul Quinn College's work-college approach. Prospective students should ask how work assignments are made, which students must participate, how many hours are expected, and whether compensation appears as wages, a reduction in charges, or another form of assistance under the current policy.

Federal Work-Study is different from a general campus job or a college work requirement. It is need-based federal aid, depends on eligibility and available funding, and ordinarily pays students for hours they actually work rather than automatically reducing a tuition bill. An internship can be different again: it may offer academic credit or career experience without being part of Federal Work-Study.

The college reports an alumni networking and mentoring avenue for undergraduates. Students seeking career-related experience should ask how to find campus positions, whether assignments can connect to a major, and what help is available with applications and interviews. None of these services should be interpreted as a guaranteed job offer after graduation.
