Russell Sage College

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

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Russell Sage College's listed full-time undergraduate tuition was $36,614, with $1,550 in required fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Together, those two items amount to $38,164 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

Reported room and board charges were $14,636 for an academic year. Adding that figure to the reported tuition and required fees yields $52,800, but this is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: it excludes other expenses, and a student's actual housing and meal-plan charges may differ. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $1,222 per credit. Graduate students face a different rate structure and should consult their specific program's budget.

Published charges are not the same as a student's net price after grants and scholarships. In the 2024-25 aid reporting, the average undergraduate grant award across the specified aid sources was $24,874; an average is not an offer to an individual applicant. Federal grants and loans, New York State aid for eligible residents, institutional scholarships, and qualifying military education benefits may affect a student's package. The reported share of students with loans was 78%, a useful reason to compare award letters by grants versus borrowing, not just by the total labeled "aid." Students seeking need-based aid should follow the college's current FAFSA and state-aid instructions and use their own award letter to calculate the amount they would pay.

What are the work-study opportunities at Russell Sage College?

Russell Sage students can pursue career preparation through counseling and, when eligible and available, student employment. Career services reported for undergraduates include individual and group planning, résumé help, interview workshops, career-interest assessment, a job bank, and employer recruitment.

Federal Work-Study is a form of need-based financial aid that helps eligible students earn wages through approved jobs; it is not a grant paid in advance and does not guarantee a position. Other campus part-time jobs may have different eligibility and funding rules. Students should check their financial aid offer for Work-Study eligibility, then follow the college's current student-job application process. An internship is different again: it may provide academic credit or professional experience, but Russell Sage does not report a college-wide internship requirement for every student.
