• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $53,260.
• Typical reported room and board: $17,090.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,160.

Those items total $71,510 before transportation and personal expenses. That arithmetic illustration is not every student's official cost of attendance: housing choices, meal plans, program charges, and commuting costs can change the amount. Published charges also differ from net price after grants and scholarships. Among the reported income groups, average net price was $23,022 for families earning up to $48,000 and $33,222 for families earning above $110,000. These are averages, not individual aid offers.

Eligible students may use federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, and federal loans to help finance attendance. Pennsylvania residents may wish to check state-grant eligibility as well as federal aid. Saint Joseph's reported grant aid for students in the measured aid population, but 56% also used student loans; receiving aid therefore should not be confused with having all costs covered. Applicants should complete the required aid application and compare their own award letter's grants, borrowing, work expectations, and remaining balance.

What are the work-study opportunities at Saint Joseph's University - Philadelphia?

Eligible Saint Joseph's students may be able to earn money through Federal Work-Study or other student employment. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program that supports wages from an eligible job; it is not a grant paid automatically toward a tuition bill. Students usually must find, apply for, and work in a qualifying position to receive those wages.

Campus jobs and approved community positions can differ in duties and availability, and an ordinary part-time job need not be a Federal Work-Study position. Saint Joseph's Career Center also supports career exploration, job and internship searches, applications, and interview preparation. Students seeking experience tied to a major should distinguish a paid campus job from an academic internship, which may have separate credit and supervision rules.
