South University-Montgomery

What is the cost of studying for a year at South University-Montgomery?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at South University-Montgomery was $17,100, with $795 in required fees, for $17,895 in tuition and required fees. The reported rates were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. This is not a complete annual budget: students also need to account for living costs, transportation, books or course materials, and any program-specific expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $17,895
• Part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $475 per credit hour, before applicable fees
• Full-time graduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $16,611
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $669 per credit hour, before applicable fees

The figures describe published charges, not what every student ultimately pays. In the same reporting period, 95% of students received some form of financial aid, while 70% had student loans. The reported average undergraduate grant award from federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources was $6,316; an average award is not an individual entitlement.

Net price includes estimated attendance expenses after grant aid, so it can exceed tuition alone. Reported average net price was $26,220 for students from families earning $48,001-$75,000 and $31,519 for those from families earning $75,001-$110,000. Individual costs may differ sharply. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, applicable state or institutional assistance, and military education benefits. The practical comparison is a personalized aid offer alongside the university's current cost-of-attendance budget, with grants separated from loans that must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at South University-Montgomery?

Students interested in earning money while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid that generally requires a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, an award or eligibility determination, and an available position; it is not cash automatically deducted from a tuition bill.

A student should ask South University-Montgomery's financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study is offered for their enrollment period, how positions are posted, and whether any approved off-campus jobs are available. Students can also look for ordinary employment, but holding a job does not turn wages into a grant. For programs with clinical hours or tightly sequenced courses, comparing a proposed work schedule with the program timetable is particularly important.

Career development is a related but different consideration. Applicants should ask their program which services are available for résumé review, interview preparation, internship searches, and employer connections, and whether access continues after graduation. Access to a service should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
