Saint Francis University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Saint Francis University?

Saint Francis University charges private-university tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $25,288, with $1,100 in required fees. Those figures cover tuition and mandatory fees, not a complete annual cost of attendance.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $26,388 combined.
• Reported typical annual room charge: $6,450.
• Reported typical annual board charge: $7,350.

Housing and dining figures should not be added to tuition as though they necessarily come from the same billing schedule or apply to every student. Books, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges also affect an individual budget. Other published listings give substantially different tuition figures for a later reporting period, making the university's itemized bill for the applicant's actual entry year particularly important.

Financial aid can change what a family pays. In the reported aid data, the average grant award to undergraduate recipients was $32,212, and 37% of students had student loans. An average grant is not an offer to every applicant. Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, check eligibility for Pennsylvania state assistance and university scholarships, and compare their own aid offer with the full cost of attendance. Grants and scholarships generally do not require repayment; loans do. Eligible veterans and service members should also have the university evaluate their military education benefits against remaining charges.

What are the work-study opportunities at Saint Francis University?

Students can seek campus employment and career-development support at Saint Francis University, but a part-time job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students who obtain qualifying employment; it is earned through wages rather than credited automatically against a bill.

The university reports career-center services that include individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, career fairs, and alumni networking. Those services can help with both part-time work and post-college planning, but they are not job-placement guarantees. An internship is not required of every undergraduate, although a particular major may have its own experiential or clinical requirements.

Students seeking employment should check their financial aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and use the university's current student-job application process to identify openings. They should also ask whether a position is Work-Study-funded or an ordinary campus job, since eligibility and available hours may differ.
