Springfield College

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

Springfield College has the same published undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students in the reported 2024-25 figures. Full-time undergraduate tuition was $43,800, with $1,174 in required fees. Those charges are the starting point for a budget, not the amount every student ultimately pays.

• 2024-25 tuition and required fees: $44,974.
• Reported room and board: $15,024 for an academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,300.

Together, those reported categories total $61,298 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges. This is an illustrative combination of figures from the same reporting year, not a complete cost-of-attendance determination or a current bill. A commuter, a student in a different housing arrangement, and a graduate student will have different budgets.

Grants can substantially change the amount a student pays, but borrowing must eventually be repaid. In the reported aid figures, the average grant award to undergraduates was $29,961, while 72% of the applicable students had student loans. The reported average net price varied with family income: it was $22,295 for families earning $48,000 or less and $34,461 for families earning more than $110,000. Net price is a historical average after applicable grant aid, not an offer to a new applicant. Students comparing colleges should use each institution's aid offer and current cost-of-attendance estimate rather than subtract an overall average grant from a personal bill.

What are the work-study opportunities at Springfield College?

Students considering a part-time job at Springfield College should distinguish Federal Work-Study from other campus employment. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program for eligible students; an ordinary student job does not require a Work-Study award.

A Work-Study listing in a financial aid package establishes potential eligibility, not a guaranteed position or wages paid in advance. Students generally must find a qualifying job, complete employment paperwork, and earn pay for hours worked. Campus departments may also hire students through non-Work-Study funding, subject to openings and hiring rules. Applicants who expect earnings to cover living costs should ask the financial aid and student employment offices how jobs are posted, whether first-year students can apply, and how many hours are realistic alongside coursework or clinical placements.

Employment can provide experience, but it serves a different purpose from an internship required for academic credit. Students seeking field-specific experience should coordinate with their academic department and career services rather than assume a campus job will meet a program's placement requirement.
