St. John Fisher University

What is the cost of studying for a year at St. John Fisher University?

St. John Fisher University charges private-university tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. In the 2024-25 IPEDS figures, full-time undergraduate tuition was $40,090 and required fees were $1,100. Those published charges come before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

For the same reporting period, typical room and board charges totaled $15,646, while reported books and supplies cost $650. Adding those figures to tuition and required fees produces about $57,486 for a student paying the listed housing and dining charges, before transportation and personal expenses. It is an illustration using reported categories, not an individual financial-aid offer or a complete budget for every living arrangement. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $1,088 per credit; graduate and professional charges follow different schedules.

Published cost and net price answer different questions. For federally aided, first-time, full-time undergraduates from families with income of $0-$48,000, the reported average annual net price was $17,953 after applicable grant and scholarship aid. For the $75,001-$110,000 income band, it was $30,268. These are group averages, not quotes for a particular household.

Reportedly, all students in the referenced aid measure received some form of financial aid, while 68% had student loans. Aid can include grants or scholarships that do not normally require repayment and loans that do. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, New York State assistance where applicable, institutional scholarships, and qualifying military or veterans' education benefits. An actual aid offer, together with a budget for the student's housing and transportation choices, is the sounder basis for comparing colleges.

What are the work-study opportunities at St. John Fisher University?

Students at St. John Fisher University can pursue career support and student employment, but an on-campus job, Federal Work-Study award, internship, and postgraduation job offer are different things. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students; an award establishes potential earnings through approved work, not wages paid without working or a guaranteed position.

The university reports career counseling for undergraduates, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest testing, job postings, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. These services can help students explore a major, prepare applications, and look for internships or employment; they are not employment outcomes. No institution-wide internship requirement is reported, so students should check whether their own major requires fieldwork.

Students interested in campus work should review their financial-aid offer and the university's current student-job listings. They should compare a job's hours and pay with their course load, especially if clinical placements, student teaching, or other scheduled training limits availability.
