Roanoke College

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Roanoke College was $36,040, with $2,028 in required fees. The same tuition and fee amounts were reported for in-state and out-of-state students. Typical annual room and board charges totaled $15,828, bringing those listed direct charges to $53,896 for a student paying the typical housing and dining charges that year.

That sum is not a complete individual cost of attendance. Books, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges can add to the budget; students living off campus may have different housing and food costs. Published charges also differ from net price, which accounts for grant aid. In the reported aid data, average grant assistance to undergraduates was about $25,984, but that average is not an award every student receives.

A full-time student should use the college's current-year tuition schedule and a personalized financial-aid offer - not the 2024-25 figures alone - to estimate what a future year will cost. Aid data also show substantial borrowing: 80% of students in the reported measure had student loans. Comparing the amount to be borrowed across all expected years is therefore as important as comparing first-year grant offers.

What are the work-study opportunities at Roanoke College?

Roanoke College students can pursue campus employment and career-development support, but a part-time job is not the same thing as a grant or an internship. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, generally provides the opportunity to earn wages through an approved job; it is not money automatically credited in full to a tuition bill.

Students interested in work should ask the financial aid and student employment offices about eligibility, available positions, how to apply, expected hours, and whether non-Work-Study jobs are also open to them. Earnings depend on securing a position and working the hours. Students should also check whether an off-campus community-service role qualifies under a particular employment program before assuming it does.

For longer-term career planning, reported career-center services include individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career exploration, job listings, employer events, and alumni networking. Those services can support an internship or job search, but access to them is not a verified employment outcome. An internship is not reported as a universal graduation requirement.
