Plymouth State University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $14,626 for New Hampshire residents and $25,566 for nonresidents. Those published charges are a starting point, not the total annual cost or the amount every student pays after aid.

• In-state undergraduate tuition and required fees: $14,626.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition and required fees: $25,566.
• Reported annual room and board: $13,158.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,400.

Adding those reported categories produces a partial annual estimate of $29,184 for an in-state student living on campus or $40,124 for an out-of-state student. Neither sum includes transportation, personal expenses, or any other costs in an individual budget. Graduate tuition, part-time charges, housing choices, and current-year rates can differ; students should compare the university's cost-of-attendance estimate for their own enrollment plan rather than use these historical sums as a bill.

Financial aid can reduce what a student pays, but grants and loans have different consequences. Reported income-band average net prices - the cost after grant and scholarship aid, not after loans - range from $14,714 for families earning $48,000 or less to $23,020 for families earning more than $110,000. Individual offers can differ substantially. Federal aid generally begins with the FAFSA; eligible students may also be considered for institutional scholarships, grants, and loans. Veterans should compare their individual education-benefit eligibility with university charges. Although reported aid participation is widespread, 69% of students in the cited measure had student loans, so an award letter should be reviewed for borrowing as well as discounts.

What are the work-study opportunities at Plymouth State University?

Plymouth State students can pursue part-time work and use career services while enrolled. Federal Work-Study, when offered in an eligible student's aid package, is a form of student employment - not a grant automatically paid in a lump sum and not a guarantee of a job.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and follow the university's student-job application process. Other campus jobs may be open to students who do not receive Work-Study. In either case, pay depends on hours worked, which must fit around classes and any program placements.

Career support reported for Plymouth State includes individual career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, job-search resources, employer recruiting, and alumni networking. These services can help students seek internships and employment, but they are not employment outcomes. An internship is not required of every undergraduate; requirements depend on the major.
