Pfeiffer University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Pfeiffer University?

Pfeiffer charges private-university tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $33,720 and required fees were $1,350, a combined published charge of $35,070 before housing, food, and other expenses.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $35,070.
• Reported typical annual room and board: $12,600, including a $6,200 room charge and $6,400 board charge.
• Illustrative tuition, required fees, room, and board using those figures: $47,670; books, transportation, and personal expenses would add to this amount.

Published charges are not the same as an individual financial-aid offer. Reported average grant aid to undergraduates was $26,152, but an average does not describe what any one student will receive. Average net prices also differed by family income: the reported figure was $14,758 for the lowest-income band and $24,513 for families above $110,000. Net price estimates generally reflect tuition and other attendance costs after grant aid, not after loans; students should compare the components and reporting year of any estimate with their own aid letter.

To seek need-based federal aid, eligible students submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. Aid may include federal grants, applicable North Carolina assistance, university scholarships, and federal loans. The reported share of students with loans was 70%, a reason to distinguish grants from borrowed funds when comparing offers. Military-connected students should also verify how eligible education benefits interact with institutional aid. Tuition schedules can change, and part-time, graduate, and program-specific charges should be checked separately.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pfeiffer University?

Pfeiffer students can pursue campus employment and, if eligible, Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program that supports wages from an approved job; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a semester and does not automatically place a student in a position.

Eligibility depends on the financial-aid process, available funding, and the student's circumstances. A student offered Work-Study generally still needs to find an approved position, complete hiring paperwork, and work the scheduled hours to earn the wages. Other campus jobs may be available without Work-Study eligibility, but their pay and hiring rules can differ.

For career development beyond paid campus work, Pfeiffer reports access to career counseling, interest assessment, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings, employer recruitment, and alumni contacts. Students looking for an internship should distinguish a course-approved placement from a paid job and confirm whether the internship counts toward graduation.
