Saint Louis Community College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Saint Louis Community College?

For 2025-26, the reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees were $5,130 for in-state students and $6,144 for out-of-state students. These are published charges, not a complete estimate of what an individual will spend during an academic year.

• In-state full-time tuition: $4,440, plus $690 in required fees.
• Out-of-state full-time tuition: $6,300, plus $690 in required fees.
• Reported part-time tuition: $148 per credit for in-state students or $210 per credit for out-of-state students, before applicable fees.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,000; actual spending depends on courses and materials.

Students must also budget for housing, food, transportation and personal expenses. Because STLCC does not provide college-operated student housing, a living-cost allowance should not be read as a residence-hall or meal-plan bill. Course-specific fees can also change the amount due. Check current tuition classifications and the term's course charges before relying on a historical annual figure.

Financial aid can reduce the amount a student pays. In the reported data, average net price was $8,319 for students from families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for the measured group; it is neither a tuition rate nor a personalized award. The college's financial-aid process provides the better basis for an individual estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at Saint Louis Community College?

Eligible STLCC students may be able to pursue Federal Work-Study as part of a financial-aid package, alongside other student jobs. Work-Study is earned through paid work; an award is not a lump-sum grant or a guarantee that a position will be available.

Students generally need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), meet aid-eligibility requirements and apply for an available job. Ordinary part-time positions may have different eligibility rules and are not necessarily funded by Work-Study. An internship is different again: it may be connected to academic credit or career training, and STLCC does not require one of every student.

The college's career services can help students explore occupations and prepare for employment through individual counseling, résumé and interview assistance, job-search resources, employer events and career fairs. These services support a search; they should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
