Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

What is the cost of studying for a year at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology?

Rose-Hulman has a substantial published price, and the amount a student pays can differ sharply after grants and scholarships. In the reported 2024-25 figures, full-time undergraduate tuition was $54,720 for both Indiana residents and nonresidents; required fees added $1,326.

• Reported 2024-25 tuition and required fees: $56,046.
• Typical annual room and board charges: $17,427.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,500.

Those items total $74,973, but that is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance budget: transportation and other personal expenses may add to it. Nor should a family combine these figures with a tuition quote from a different academic year and treat the result as one annual estimate.

Grants can reduce the price without having to be repaid. In the reported aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 41% had student loans; "aid" can include loans, so it does not mean every charge was covered by grants. The average net price was $33,742 for families with annual income of $48,000 or less and $45,994 for families above $110,000. These are group averages, not personalized offers. Applicants should compare the current official cost-of-attendance budget with their own aid award and the institute's net-price estimate, separating grants from loans and work earnings.

What are the work-study opportunities at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology?

Rose-Hulman students can pursue paid work alongside classes, while Federal Work-Study, when awarded, operates differently from an ordinary part-time job. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: eligible students generally must submit the FAFSA, receive an award, obtain a qualifying position, and earn wages through work. An award is not money paid upfront or a guarantee of a job.

Students should ask the financial aid office how to find current campus positions and whether a particular role is Work-Study-funded or open to other student employees. Academic or technical jobs may also provide relevant experience, but paid employment is distinct from an internship requirement: Rose-Hulman does not report requiring an internship of every student.

The career center offers another set of services, including individual counseling, résumé and interview preparation, employer recruitment, job fairs, job-search resources, and alumni networking. Those services can support a search for internships or postgraduation work; their availability should not be confused with a verified job offer or placement outcome for an individual student.
