Saint Johns University

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

Saint John's has a high published undergraduate price, but grants can substantially change what an individual student pays. For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $54,540, with $1,276 in required fees; the same reported tuition applied to in-state and out-of-state students.

• Tuition and required fees: $57,760 for the academic year.
• Typical room and board: $12,740 combined.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,000.

Those items total $69,556 before transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific charges. This is a calculation from the listed 2024-25 components, not a complete individualized cost-of-attendance estimate. Students living elsewhere or selecting a different meal plan may have different expenses; part-time and graduate tuition follow different schedules.

Aid changes the comparison. In the reported aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, and 55% had student loans. The average grant aid reported for undergraduates was $37,258, but an average award is not a personal offer. Average net price also varied by family income: it was $9,715 for families earning up to $48,000 and $32,822 for those earning more than $110,000. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid, not after loans that must be repaid.

Eligible students may receive institutional scholarships, federal or Minnesota grants, and federal student loans. The FAFSA is central to determining eligibility for many forms of need-based aid; applicants should check current institutional scholarship requirements and aid deadlines as well. Comparing the university's current aid offer with its current cost-of-attendance estimate is more reliable than subtracting an average grant from published tuition.

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

Saint John's students can seek part-time campus employment, while eligible students may receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial aid offer. Work-Study is eligibility for certain paid jobs, not an automatic payment or a guarantee of a position; students ordinarily earn wages for hours worked.

Students should check the financial aid and student employment offices for available positions, hiring steps and whether a job requires Work-Study eligibility. An ordinary campus job may be open to students without a Work-Study award. Off-campus jobs and internships have separate hiring, pay and academic-credit rules.

Career support is also available beyond student employment. Reported services include individual career planning, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer events and alumni networking. These services can help students explore work and graduate-study options, but access to career counseling is not itself an employment outcome.
