St. Augustine College

What is the cost of studying for a year at St. Augustine College?

For 2024-25, St. Augustine College reported the same undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students. The published full-time tuition and required fees were:

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $12,888 for the academic year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $800 for the academic year.
• Combined published tuition and required fees: $13,688 for the academic year.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $537 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

These are historical St. Augustine College charges, not a current Lewis University bill. They also are not a full cost-of-attendance estimate: books, transportation, personal expenses, and off-campus living costs can add substantially to what a student needs to budget. Students should use the current charges and the financial-aid office's cost-of-attendance estimate for their actual program and entry term.

Financial aid can make the amount paid different from the published price. In 2024-25, 89% of students reportedly received some form of aid, while 5% received student loans. Reported average net prices were $15,529 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $15,272 for those in the next reported income band. Net price reflects attendance costs after grant or scholarship aid; it is not a tuition quote, and an individual award may differ. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and ask about federal grants, Illinois aid, institutional scholarships, and applicable military education benefits.

What are the work-study opportunities at St. Augustine College?

Students seeking part-time work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from a regular job. Work-Study is need-based financial aid that can help an eligible student earn wages through an approved position; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term, and eligibility does not itself secure a job.

Students should ask the current financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study is offered for their program, whether their aid offer includes it, and where approved positions are posted. They can also pursue ordinary off-campus employment independently. An internship, when available through a degree program, has different academic and payment rules from either type of job; St. Augustine College has not reported a college-wide internship requirement for every student.
