• 2024-25 average full-time graduate tuition: $30,147.
• 2024-25 required graduate fees: $936.
• 2024-25 reported part-time graduate charge: $1,373 per credit hour.

These are reported graduate averages, not a verified current bill for every St. Louis program. In particular, an MD applicant should obtain the medical program's current tuition and fee schedule rather than substitute the graduate average. A full cost-of-attendance budget also includes housing, food, books and equipment, transportation, and personal expenses. Because the campus does not provide undergraduate institution-operated housing, students arranging their own accommodations should build a location-specific living budget. The amount a student ultimately pays depends on the applicable program charges and individual aid eligibility; loans reduce the amount due now but must generally be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Ponce Health Sciences University-St Louis?

Students considering paid work while enrolled at Ponce Health Sciences University-St. Louis should first distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal student-aid program available only when the institution, the student, and the position meet its requirements; a financial aid offer is not a job assignment.

Graduate and medical programs can also have schedules that limit practical working hours, especially during intensive coursework or clinical training. Applicants should ask the St. Louis financial aid office whether their particular program offers Work-Study, how positions are posted, and whether any paid research or campus roles are open to them. They should separately ask their program about career advising, clinical preparation, and professional networking: those services are not the same thing as paid employment or a verified job-placement outcome.
