Shawnee State University

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

The annual price of attending Shawnee State depends on Ohio residency, enrollment level, living arrangements, and aid. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $9,448 for Ohio residents and $16,032 for nonresidents. Those tuition figures alone are not a complete cost of attendance.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition, Ohio resident: $9,448.
• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition, nonresident: $16,032.
• Reported typical academic-year room charge: $7,908; reported typical board charge: $4,924. Confirm current charges and meal-plan terms before combining them with a current tuition quote.

Books, transportation, and personal expenses also belong in a student budget. Published charges differ from net price, which reflects applicable grant and scholarship aid. Reported average net prices vary by family income: for students from families earning $48,000 or less, the figure was $11,956; for families earning more than $110,000, it was $18,754. Averages do not establish an individual award.

Financial aid reporting indicates that 93% of students received some form of aid and 39% had student loans. Eligible students may consider federal grants and loans, Ohio aid, institutional scholarships, and qualifying veterans' benefits. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing Shawnee State's current scholarship and priority-date instructions are essential steps. A loan reduces what is due now but must generally be repaid; a grant or scholarship usually does not.

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

Shawnee State students can explore campus jobs and career support, but Federal Work-Study and ordinary part-time employment are not the same thing. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program for eligible students; an award permits earnings through qualifying work rather than placing the full award in a student's account at the start of the term.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, check their aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how qualifying positions are posted and filled. Other campus jobs may have separate hiring rules and need not require a Work-Study award. Hours, pay, and available positions can vary.

For longer-term career planning, reported services include individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Students can use these services to search for internships or jobs, but access to a service is not evidence of a particular employment outcome.
