St Bonaventure University

What is the cost of studying for a year at St Bonaventure University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $40,500, with $1,235 in required fees; the reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and mandatory fees therefore totaled $41,735 before housing, meals, books, transportation, or personal expenses. These are published charges, not an individual aid-adjusted bill.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $41,735.
• Reported annual room and board: $15,760; housing and meal choices may change the charge.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $800; transportation and personal costs are additional.

Adding those reported tuition, fee, room, board, and book amounts gives $58,295, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate because it excludes other living and travel expenses. Students should use the university's estimate for their own enrollment year and living arrangement rather than combine figures from different years.

Financial aid can substantially change the price. In the reported aid data, 99% of the measured students received financial aid, while the reported student-loan recipient share was 93%; receiving aid therefore does not necessarily mean avoiding debt. The average net price reported for families with income of $48,000 or less was $17,949, compared with $24,097 for the $48,001-$75,000 band. These are averages for defined groups, not quotes for a particular family.

Eligible students may receive federal grants, New York State assistance such as TAP, institutional scholarships or grants, and federal loans. FAFSA filing is important for federal-aid consideration, and state aid has its own eligibility and application rules. Compare an actual aid offer by separating grants and scholarships, which generally do not require repayment, from loans and work-study, which do.

What are the work-study opportunities at St Bonaventure University?

St. Bonaventure students can explore part-time work and career-development support, but Federal Work-Study, an ordinary campus job, and an internship serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid awarded to eligible students; an award provides access to potential earnings, not an automatic paycheck or guaranteed job.

Students interested in employment should check their aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and follow the university's current student-job application process. They should ask whether positions are open to students without Work-Study and whether a role's hours fit their course schedule. An internship may offer academic credit or professional experience, but the university does not report requiring one for every undergraduate.

Career support includes individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, job listings, employer recruiting, fairs, and opportunities to connect with alumni. Those services can help students plan and apply; they should not be mistaken for a verified job-placement rate or a promise of employment.
