South Georgia State College

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

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total approximately $3,314 for a Georgia resident and $12,235 for a nonresident. Those figures cover tuition and mandatory fees, not the full cost of attending college.

• Georgia-resident tuition: $2,424; required fees: $890.
• Nonresident tuition: $9,384; required fees: $890.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $10,090 for a student using that arrangement.

A residential student would also need to budget for books, transportation, and personal expenses. A commuter would not normally add the college's room-and-board charge to tuition, but would still have living and travel costs. The figures above should therefore not be treated as a universal bill or combined with amounts from a different academic year to create a single estimate.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays. In the 2024-25 figures, 93% of students received some form of financial aid, while 27% had student loans; receiving aid does not mean receiving a grant large enough to cover all expenses. Reported average net prices - cost after grant and scholarship aid - for families with annual income up to $48,000 were $7,603. Net price is an average, not an individual offer, and a student's residency, housing choice, enrollment level, and aid eligibility can produce a different result.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Georgia aid programs, and institutional scholarships. Completing the FAFSA and checking current Georgia and college scholarship requirements are practical steps; military-affiliated applicants should separately check how their education benefits apply to the chosen program. The college's current cost-of-attendance budget and an individual financial aid offer are the documents to use for a personal estimate.

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

South Georgia State College students can seek part-time work and career guidance, but a campus job should not be assumed as part of an aid award. Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through paid work rather than money automatically deducted from a tuition bill.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their financial aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how available positions are posted and assigned. Ordinary student jobs can have different eligibility rules and do not require a Work-Study award. In either case, earnings depend on obtaining a position and working the scheduled hours.

The college reports career resources including résumé assistance, career and interest assessment, and individual or group career planning for undergraduates. On-campus employer recruitment is also reported. These services can support a job or internship search, but they do not constitute a placement guarantee, and internships are not required of every student.
