What is the cost of studying for a year at Simmons College of Kentucky?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition at Simmons College of Kentucky was $16,008, with $390 in required fees, for $16,398 in published tuition and fees. The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $667 per credit hour; a part-time student's bill will depend on the number of credits and applicable fees.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $16,398.
  • Full-time graduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $13,150.
  • Reported median annual room-and-board charge: $8,750; confirm the housing option and year before using it in a personal budget.

Tuition and fees are not a complete cost of attendance. Students may also need to budget for housing and food, books, transportation, and personal expenses; they should not add a room-and-board figure to a budget that already includes those expenses. Published charges also differ from net price, which reflects grant assistance.

In 2024-25 reporting, 54% of students received financial aid, and the reported average grant award to undergraduates was $10,964. Grants may come from federal, state, institutional, or other sources and do not have to be repaid; eligibility and an individual award can differ substantially from an average. Students seeking aid should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and review the college's current aid instructions, including any scholarship applications and deadlines. Federal loans must be repaid, and borrowing should be weighed against the full cost of completing the degree.

What are the work-study opportunities at Simmons College of Kentucky?

Work opportunities should be evaluated separately from grants, loans, and the internship Simmons College of Kentucky reports requiring. An internship is an academic or career-development activity; it is not automatically a paid job or a Federal Work-Study position.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, provides the possibility of earning wages through qualifying work rather than a discount applied upfront to tuition. Students should check their financial-aid offer and ask the financial-aid office how positions are advertised, whether jobs are available on campus or with approved community employers, and how hours fit around classes. The college's career resources - including its job bank, job fairs, and interview preparation - may also help students look for ordinary part-time employment, which has different eligibility and funding rules.
