Savannah State University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Savannah State University?

For 2024-25 reporting, Savannah State University's listed full-time undergraduate tuition was $4,176 for Georgia residents and $17,469 for nonresidents. Required fees were reported at $1,574 for either group. On that basis, tuition plus those fees totaled $5,750 in state or $21,374 out of state; neither figure is the full cost of attendance.

• Georgia-resident undergraduate tuition and required fees: $5,750, using the reported 2025-26 figures.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition and required fees: $19,043, using the reported 2025-26 figures.

Housing and meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses can add substantially to the annual budget. A student's official cost-of-attendance estimate also depends on living arrangements and enrollment status. The reported average net price for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less was $7,033. Net price estimates reflect costs after grant and scholarship aid for a defined group; they are not a bill or an aid offer for an individual applicant.

Financial aid can change the amount a student must cover, but loans must generally be repaid. Reported figures indicate that 96% of students received some form of financial aid and 65% used student loans. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and review federal grants, Georgia programs such as HOPE and Zell Miller, university scholarships, and any applicable veterans' benefits. A current, personalized aid offer is more useful for comparing schools than tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Savannah State University?

Savannah State University students can explore part-time employment alongside their studies, including positions associated with Federal Work-Study when they qualify and positions funded through other campus budgets. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program: an award indicates eligibility to seek a job, not a guaranteed placement or an automatic reduction in the tuition bill.

Students interested in work should check their financial aid offer and the university's student-employment postings, then apply for positions that fit their class schedule. Ordinary part-time jobs may not require Work-Study eligibility, while internships may be unpaid, paid, or tied to academic credit under different rules.

The university's career services extend beyond campus jobs. Reported services include individual career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, job listings, employer recruitment, career fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. These are resources for planning and searching; their availability should not be confused with a verified job-placement rate.
