Roger Williams University

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

Roger Williams University charges private-university undergraduate tuition without a separate in-state discount. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $44,867, with $330 in required fees.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $45,197.
• Typical reported room and board for the academic year: $17,656.
• Typical reported books and supplies: $900.

Those reported items total $63,753, but that is not a complete individual cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal spending, and any program-specific costs can add to it. Housing and meal-plan choices also affect the bill. Students should use a current university budget for their intended year rather than treat 2024-25 charges as today's guaranteed price.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, average grant aid to undergraduates was $23,522, while 56% received student loans; a loan reduces what must be paid immediately but must generally be repaid. Reported average net prices differed by family-income bracket, including $30,087 for the lowest listed income group and $40,792 for families above $110,000. These are group averages, not quotes for an applicant. Students seeking federal aid generally begin with the FAFSA and should compare their individual aid offers, renewal conditions, and estimated borrowing.

What are the work-study opportunities at Roger Williams University?

Roger Williams University students can pursue part-time employment alongside their studies, and eligible students may be offered Federal Work-Study as part of a financial-aid package. Work-Study is need-based eligibility to earn wages from an approved job; it is not a grant paid upfront or a guarantee of a particular position.

Students without Work-Study eligibility may still be able to apply for other campus jobs. The financial-aid and student-employment offices can explain job postings, payroll procedures, and whether a position requires a Work-Study award. Separately, career services provides résumé and interview assistance, career counseling, employer events, and support with internship and job searches. Its alumni networking and career resources can help students explore options, but those services should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
