St. John's College-New Mexico

What is the cost of studying for a year at St. John's College-New Mexico?

St. John's College charges private-college tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. In the reported 2024-25 figures, full-time undergraduate tuition was $39,356 and required fees were $1,158. Together, those charges came to $40,514 before housing, food, and other expenses.

• Tuition and required fees: $40,514 for a full-time undergraduate in the reported 2024-25 figures.
• Typical room and board: $16,462 for the academic year, combining a $8,442 room charge and a $8,020 board charge.
• Books and supplies: $444 in the reported estimate.

Those listed items total $57,420 for the same reporting year. They are not a complete personal cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and any applicant-specific charges can raise the amount needed. Graduate tuition and part-time rates follow different schedules.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, average net price was $17,151 for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less, compared with $35,680 for those from families earning above $110,000. These are averages for groups, not quotes for an individual family. Nearly all undergraduates in the reported data received some form of financial aid, and the average grant award reported across applicable sources was $27,753. Grants reduce a bill; loans must generally be repaid.

Applicants should use the college's current cost-of-attendance budget and financial aid offer to compare an up-to-date price with other schools. Completing the FAFSA and any institutional aid requirements is important for determining eligibility for federal assistance and St. John's awards. Students with military education benefits should have the benefits office confirm how their particular award would apply rather than subtract an average benefit from the published price.

What are the work-study opportunities at St. John's College-New Mexico?

Eligible St. John's students may seek student employment, including Federal Work-Study when it appears in their financial aid package. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program that supports wages for approved jobs; it is not a grant paid in advance or a guarantee of a particular position or number of hours.

Students interested in campus work should review available positions and hiring procedures with the financial aid or student employment office. Ordinary part-time jobs may have different eligibility rules from Federal Work-Study jobs, and an internship is a separate educational or career opportunity. St. John's does not require an internship of every undergraduate.

For longer-term planning, the college reports career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, a job bank, employer events, and opportunities to contact alumni for networking. Those services can help students investigate careers and apply for work, but their availability should not be read as a measured job-placement rate.
