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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Penn State Fayette was $13,824 for Pennsylvania residents and $23,550 for nonresidents. Required fees were listed at $584. On that basis, tuition plus those fees totaled $14,408 for a resident or $24,402 for a nonresident before books, transportation, living costs, and other expenses. Penn State's current bill may differ, so applicants should use the tuition schedule for their actual entry year and credit load.

  • 2024-25 full-time resident undergraduate tuition: $13,824.
  • 2024-25 full-time nonresident undergraduate tuition: $23,550.
  • 2024-25 required undergraduate fees: $584.
  • Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,200.

A separate reported room-and-board figure of $15,346 is a useful living-cost benchmark, not proof of a residence-hall or meal-plan charge at Fayette. Commuters should build a budget around their actual rent or household expenses, food, and transportation rather than automatically adding that benchmark to their bill.

Financial aid changes the amount a student may ultimately pay. In 2024-25, 97% of students were reported as receiving some form of aid, while 58% had student loans; loans must generally be repaid. Reported average net prices after aid ranged from $8,574 for families with annual income up to $48,000 to $22,545 for families above $110,000. These are group averages, not individual offers. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and review Penn State, federal, and Pennsylvania grant and scholarship requirements; the resulting aid offer and a personal living-cost budget provide a more useful comparison than published tuition alone.

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

Fayette students can seek part-time work while enrolled and can use Penn State career resources for broader job and internship planning. Federal Work-Study is distinct from an ordinary campus job: eligibility is determined through financial aid, and an award generally allows a student to earn wages through an eligible position rather than providing money automatically.

Students interested in Work-Study should submit the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and follow Penn State's student-employment instructions for finding and applying to available jobs. Students without a Work-Study award can also look for positions that do not require one. In either case, hours, hiring, and earnings depend on the job.

Penn State's career-support resources include help with career exploration, job-search preparation, and connecting with employers. Fayette students should check which appointments, recruiting events, and internship resources they can use locally or online. An internship may offer academic credit or career experience, but it is not the same thing as Work-Study or a verified postgraduation job outcome.
