Pennsylvania College of Technology

What is the cost of studying for a year at Pennsylvania College of Technology?

Penn College charges different tuition rates by residency. In the 2024-25 cost data, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $17,940 for Pennsylvania residents and $25,680 for out-of-state students. These are published charges, not an individual student's final bill after aid.

• In-state full-time undergraduate tuition: $15,450; required fees: $2,490.
• Out-of-state full-time undergraduate tuition: $23,190; required fees: $2,490.
• Typical academic-year housing charge: $7,342; typical dining charge: $5,530.

Adding the listed housing and dining charges produces a tuition, fees, housing, and dining subtotal of $30,812 for an in-state student or $38,552 for an out-of-state student using those options. Neither subtotal includes books, supplies, transportation, personal spending, or program-specific expenses; it is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate. A commuter's housing costs and a student's actual meal-plan charges may differ.

Aid changes what families ultimately pay. In the 2024-25 aid data, 88% of students received financial aid, while 60% had student loans. Average net price also varied by family income: it was $19,090 for families earning up to $48,000 and $30,533 for families earning more than $110,000. Net price is an average after applicable grant or scholarship aid, not a quote for a particular applicant; loans still have to be repaid.

Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, Pennsylvania state aid, Penn College scholarships, and applicable military education benefits. Completing the financial aid applications required for each source - and checking its deadline - is the practical way to obtain a personalized offer.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pennsylvania College of Technology?

Penn College students can look for part-time work while enrolled, including positions that may be offered through Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is need-based federal aid earned through an eligible job; receiving it in an aid offer does not mean wages are paid in advance or that a particular job is guaranteed.

Students should check their aid eligibility and the college's current student-job listings, then compare a job's hours with lab, clinical, and course schedules. Ordinary part-time employment is not the same as Federal Work-Study, and an internship may have separate academic and employer requirements. Penn College does not require an internship of every student.

For longer-term career planning, the college offers individual career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, job listings, career fairs, and opportunities to meet recruiting employers. Those services can help students search and prepare, but their availability is not evidence that every student receives a job offer.
