Pennsylvania State University-Penn State DuBois

What is the cost of studying for a year at Pennsylvania State University-Penn State DuBois?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Penn State DuBois was $13,824 for Pennsylvania residents and $23,550 for nonresidents. Required fees were reported as $584 in either category, bringing tuition and those fees to $14,408 and $24,134, respectively.

Adding the reported room-and-board and book figures to tuition and required fees gives a planning subtotal of $30,954 for a resident or $40,680 for a nonresident. These are not complete cost-of-attendance estimates: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs can add to the total. They are also not a quote for a particular apartment or meal arrangement. Current Penn State billing and financial-aid cost estimates should take precedence for a student's actual entry year.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, average net price was $12,708 for students from families with incomes of $48,000 or less, compared with $25,301 for those above $110,000. These are averages for defined groups, not individual aid offers. Reported aid data also indicate that 95% of students received financial aid and 51% had student loans; loans must generally be repaid. Eligible students may investigate federal grants and loans, Pennsylvania state grants, Penn State scholarships, and applicable veterans' education benefits by completing the aid applications required for their award year.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pennsylvania State University-Penn State DuBois?

Penn State DuBois students can look for part-time student employment, while eligible students may also receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial-aid offer. Work-Study is a wage-earning program, not a grant paid automatically against the tuition bill.

Federal Work-Study eligibility depends on the student's aid application, financial need, available funding, and an actual job. An ordinary campus job may be available without a Work-Study award, and an internship may have separate academic or employer requirements. Students should compare positions by schedule, pay, transportation, and relevance to their interests rather than assume that every job is connected to a major.

Penn State's career services can support the broader employment search through career exploration, résumé and interview preparation, and job-search resources. DuBois students should check which appointments and employer activities are offered locally and which are available online or through university-wide services. Career assistance is a service, not a verified placement or employment-rate outcome.
