Sisseton Wahpeton College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Sisseton Wahpeton College?

For 2025-26, the reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees at Sisseton Wahpeton College totaled $4,810 for both in-state and out-of-state students. That published charge is only part of an annual education budget.

• Full-time tuition: $3,840 for either residency category.
• Required fees: $490.
• Reported room and board figure: $3,000; an individual housing arrangement may cost differently.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,200.

Adding those reported categories gives $8,530, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs would need to be considered. A part-time student's reported tuition charge was $160 per credit hour. Published charges also differ from net price, which accounts for grant aid. For students from families earning up to $48,000, the reported average net price was $5,909; an individual award and final bill may differ. Eligible students may use federal grants, other grants, scholarships, or military education benefits, depending on their circumstances. The financial aid office can provide a current, student-specific budget and explain the aid application process.

What are the work-study opportunities at Sisseton Wahpeton College?

Student employment can help cover expenses, but a campus job should not be assumed to come with admission or a financial-aid award. Students interested in Federal Work-Study should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify and what positions are available for the term they plan to attend.

Federal Work-Study, when awarded, generally allows an eligible student to earn wages through an approved job; it is not an upfront discount from tuition. Ordinary part-time employment has different hiring and eligibility rules. For career planning, the college reports individual and group counseling for undergraduates, as well as individual job-placement assistance and on-campus employer recruitment. Those services are opportunities to seek guidance and contacts, not employment guarantees. Students should distinguish a paid job from an internship that may instead carry academic credit or program-specific requirements.
