• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $8,830.
• Full-time graduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $9,010.

Do not add the room charge to every student's bill: it applies only if that housing option is used. Food, transportation, and personal expenses also matter, and the listed room charge does not include a stated meal cost. Obtain a current cost-of-attendance budget for the intended program and living arrangement before comparing offers.

Financial assistance can substantially change what a student pays. In 2024-25 reporting, all students in the measured aid group received some form of financial aid, while none in the reported loan group received student loans; neither percentage promises the same result for a new applicant. Reported average undergraduate grant aid was $10,509. Grants generally do not require repayment, but eligibility and award amounts depend on the student and the aid program. Applicants seeking federal, state, or institutional assistance should follow SFBU's current financial-aid instructions and submit the FAFSA where applicable.

What are the work-study opportunities at San Francisco Bay University?

Paid work can help students meet expenses, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are different opportunities. Federal Work-Study, when available to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through approved employment rather than a grant paid automatically.

Students considering part-time work should ask SFBU's financial-aid office whether Work-Study is included in their individual award and where eligible positions are posted. For career-related experience, ask the relevant academic program how internships or applied projects fit its degree requirements. An internship may be paid or unpaid and does not necessarily qualify as Work-Study. Students studying on a visa should confirm employment authorization before accepting any job.
