Southern Utah University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Southern Utah University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Southern Utah University was $6,186 for Utah residents and $20,416 for nonresidents. Reported required fees added $776 for either group. These are published charges before financial aid and exclude living and other educational expenses.

• Utah-resident undergraduate tuition and required fees: $6,962 for 2025-26.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition and required fees: $21,646 for 2025-26.
• Reported annual room and board: $9,512; books and supplies: $800.

Adding those reported room, board and book amounts produces a limited illustration of $17,274 for a resident or $31,504 for a nonresident. Neither figure is a complete cost of attendance: transportation, personal expenses, program-specific charges and other applicable costs still matter. Housing and meal-plan choices can also change the bill. Students should use SUU's estimate for their own academic year and enrollment pattern rather than treat these 2024-25 figures as current charges.

Published price is different from net price, which accounts for grant and scholarship aid. Reported average net price was $7,235 for students from families with annual income up to $48,000 and $14,917 for those above $110,000. Those averages describe groups, not individual offers. Eligible students can pursue federal grants and loans, state assistance, institutional scholarships and, where applicable, military education benefits. Filing the required financial-aid application and checking scholarship deadlines are essential steps; loans must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Southern Utah University?

Southern Utah University students can pursue part-time employment as well as career-development support. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid that permits an eligible student to earn wages through an approved job; it is not an automatic payment or a guarantee of a position. Students without Work-Study eligibility may still qualify for other campus jobs.

The university's career services include individual career planning, résumé help, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events and alumni networking opportunities. Those services can support a search for internships or post-college work, but they are not verified employment outcomes. SUU does not require an internship of every student, although a particular major may have one.

Students comparing jobs should ask whether a position is Work-Study-funded, how many hours are available and whether the duties relate to their field. Pay from a student job is earned over time and should not be confused with a grant that reduces a tuition bill at the start of a term.
