Pensacola State College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Pensacola State College?

Pensacola State College's 2024-25 published full-time undergraduate charges differed substantially by residency. Reported in-state tuition was $1,884, with $477 in required fees; out-of-state tuition was $7,536, with $1,927 in required fees. Those figures describe tuition and required fees, not a complete annual living budget.

• Florida resident: $2,361 in reported full-time tuition and required fees for 2024-25.
• Nonresident: $9,463 in reported full-time tuition and required fees for 2024-25.
• Books and supplies: a separately reported estimate of $1,800; actual spending depends on courses and materials.

Part-time students were reported at $105 per credit hour for in-state tuition and $420 for out-of-state tuition, before checking any applicable fees. Transportation, food, and housing can be much larger expenses than tuition for a commuter. A reported room-and-board figure should be understood as an estimated living-cost allowance, not the price of a college residence hall: PSC does not operate undergraduate housing.

Financial aid can change what a student ultimately pays. In the 2024-25 data, 83% of students in the reported aid measure received financial aid, while 8% received student loans. Grants and scholarships generally do not require repayment when their conditions are met; loans do. Eligible students can explore federal Pell Grants, Florida assistance, PSC scholarships, and veteran or military education benefits through the relevant applications and eligibility processes. An individual aid offer - and the college's cost-of-attendance budget - is more useful for planning than tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pensacola State College?

Pensacola State College students can use career services for job-search preparation, while eligible students may be able to pursue student employment. Federal Work-Study, when awarded, is a form of financial aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid simply for enrolling.

Career support available to undergraduates includes individual or group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, job listings, employer recruitment, and job fairs. These services can help students find work or explore a major, but they are not verified employment outcomes. The college does not require an internship of every student, although a particular program may include clinical training or other work-based learning.

Students interested in Federal Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how approved positions are posted and filled. An ordinary part-time job can provide income without being a Work-Study position, but its wages and scheduling may differ from the terms of an aid-funded campus job.
