South Florida State College

What is the cost of studying for a year at South Florida State College?

South Florida State College's published tuition is substantially different for Florida residents and nonresidents. For the 2024-25 reporting year, the full-time undergraduate figures were:

• Florida resident tuition: $3,135, plus $30 in reported required fees.
• Nonresident tuition: $11,829, plus $30 in reported required fees.
• Reported part-time tuition: $105 per credit for residents or $394 per credit for nonresidents.

These are tuition-and-fee figures, not a complete annual budget. Books, supplies, transportation, food, and housing can materially increase the cost of attendance, particularly for a student commuting long distances or renting independently. Program expenses such as equipment, uniforms, testing, or clinical requirements may also apply.

Financial aid changes what some students ultimately pay. In the 2024-25 figures, the average net price for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less was $3,597. Net price reflects estimated attendance costs after grant and scholarship aid; it is an average for a group, not an individualized bill. Students should compare their own aid offer and living arrangements with a current cost-of-attendance budget rather than adding estimates drawn from different years.

What are the work-study opportunities at South Florida State College?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled can explore Federal Work-Study, if they qualify and positions are available, as well as ordinary part-time jobs. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through employment; an award is not the same as money paid automatically toward tuition.

SFSC students can also use career support for job-search and career planning. Reported services include individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, a job bank, employer recruiting, and job fairs. Those services may help a student find employment or explore an occupation, but they should not be read as verified placement outcomes. Applicants interested in Work-Study should complete the financial aid process and ask which positions are open, how hiring works, and whether hours can fit around classes.

Eligible students may also use aid such as federal grants, state assistance, institutional scholarships, and veteran education benefits. The 2024-25 data show that 80% of students received financial aid, while 5% had student loans. Neither percentage establishes what an individual applicant will receive; eligibility depends on the aid program and the student's circumstances.
