Pennsylvania Institute of Technology

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Pennsylvania Institute of Technology was $13,500 for both in-state and out-of-state students, with $1,350 in required fees. Together, those published charges equal $14,850 before books, living costs, transportation, and personal expenses. The reported part-time tuition charge was $500 per credit hour.

• Full-time tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $14,850.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,050.
• Reported room-and-board budget: $14,500; this is not a charge for PIT-operated housing.

Adding those three reported amounts gives $30,400 as an illustrative annual budget before transportation and other personal expenses, not a complete or individualized cost-of-attendance quote. A student living at home, renting locally, or attending part time could face a different budget.

Financial aid changes what a student pays, but loans must generally be repaid. In the 2024-25 figures, 99% of students received financial aid and 93% had student loans. Average grant aid was $7,174. For students from families with annual income of $0-48,000, the reported average net price was $16,247; for the $48,001-75,000 group, it was $15,109. A net price is an average cost after grant aid, not an individual offer. Students should compare their own aid letter and borrowing terms with the latest published tuition and expense budget.

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

Pennsylvania Institute of Technology reports individual and group career counseling for undergraduates, as well as individual job-placement support and access to on-campus employer recruitment. These services can help with career planning, but their availability does not establish a placement rate or guarantee an offer.

Students seeking paid work should distinguish a regular part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program for eligible students at participating institutions; an award, if offered, is generally earned through a qualifying job rather than deducted from tuition in advance. Applicants should ask PIT's financial-aid office whether Work-Study is offered for their entry year, how positions are posted, and whether a job must be secured separately. Internship or clinical requirements should likewise be checked against the specific program curriculum rather than assumed to be paid employment.
