What is the cost of studying for a year at Seton Hill University?

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Seton Hill was $42,294, with $650 in required fees. The published tuition rate was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses are additional costs.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees: $42,944 for the academic year.
• Typical room and board charges: $14,784 for the academic year.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,200.

Those three reported items total $58,928 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges; they are not a complete individual cost-of-attendance estimate. Commuters would not necessarily pay campus room and board, while part-time and graduate students face different rates. Applicants should compare the university's current published budget for their own entry year and program rather than use 2024-25 charges as a current price quote.

Published price is also different from net price after grants and scholarships. For the reported aid year, the average net price was $13,436 for students from families earning $48,000 or less and $27,764 for those from families earning more than $110,000. These are group averages, not personalized offers. Seton Hill reported that all students in the relevant aid measure received financial aid, but 71% received student loans; a loan lowers an immediate bill without lowering the amount ultimately owed.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Pennsylvania state aid, and institutional scholarships by completing the required aid applications. Applicants using military education benefits should have the financial aid office explain how those benefits interact with other awards. The most useful comparison is an individualized aid offer showing grants separately from loans and the remaining estimated costs.

What are the work-study opportunities at Seton Hill University?

Seton Hill students may seek part-time work while enrolled, including positions connected to campus operations. Federal Work-Study, when awarded to an eligible student, is a need-based employment opportunity - not a grant automatically deducted from tuition. Earnings generally depend on hours actually worked.

Students should check their aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and ask the financial aid or student employment office how to find openings, apply, and complete hiring paperwork. Ordinary campus jobs may have different eligibility rules, while an internship is primarily a supervised learning or career experience and may or may not be paid.

For longer-term career planning, Seton Hill reports services including individual counseling, résumé and interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, career fairs, and alumni networking. Those services can support a search but should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome or a promise of employment.
