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

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Saint Leo's listed full-time undergraduate tuition was $27,880, with $2,120 in required fees for both in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and mandatory fees therefore totaled $30,000 before housing, meals, books, transportation, or personal expenses.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $30,000.
  • Reported room and board: $16,250 for the academic year.
  • Reported books and supplies: $1,076.

Adding those three reported categories produces $47,326. That is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation and other individual expenses may add to it, while a commuter or a student in another study format may have different charges. Graduate, part-time, and online pricing should be checked separately rather than inferred from the campus undergraduate figure.

Published charges are also different from what a student pays after grants and scholarships. The reported average net price for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less was $17,699; individual aid offers can differ substantially. Reported grant aid averaged $14,449 among the applicable undergraduate aid recipients, and 32% of students in the reported aid measure had student loans. Students should complete the FAFSA if eligible and review federal, Florida, institutional, and military-benefit options that apply to them. An aid offer should be compared with a budget for the student's actual housing and enrollment plans.

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

Saint Leo students can pursue career-development support and, where eligible and available, student employment. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program that helps eligible students earn wages through approved jobs; it is not a grant paid automatically or a promise of a position.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask the financial aid and student employment offices how positions are advertised. Other part-time jobs may be available without a Work-Study award. In either case, earnings depend on securing a job and working the assigned hours.

For longer-term career planning, Saint Leo reports offering individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest assessment, job listings, employer recruiting, and job fairs. Students can also ask about alumni networking and internship-search assistance. These services help with preparation and access to opportunities; they are not verified employment outcomes, and an internship is not required of every student.
