St. Thomas Aquinas College

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

St. Thomas Aquinas College charges private-college tuition, so the published price and a student's eventual net price can differ substantially. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $38,400, with $1,050 in required fees; the same tuition and fee figures applied to in-state and out-of-state students.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $38,400.
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $1,050.
• Typical annual room charge: $10,600.
• Typical annual board charge: $8,400.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,250.

Adding those reported items produces an illustrative $59,700 for a student paying the listed tuition and fees and using the typical room and board charges. It is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and any applicant-specific charges may add to the total. A commuter's expenses would differ from a resident's.

Reported average net prices after aid also vary by family-income category. For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average was $13,700; for families above $110,000, it was $27,333. These are averages, not quotes. Students should compare a current, individualized aid offer with the college's current cost-of-attendance budget rather than subtracting an average grant from a differently dated tuition figure.

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

Student employment can help with expenses, but a job is different from a grant and does not reduce a tuition bill automatically. Students interested in Federal Work-Study should check their financial aid offer for eligibility and ask how the college posts available positions.

Federal Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program that generally pays eligible students for hours they actually work. An ordinary campus job may have different eligibility rules, while an internship is primarily an academic or career experience and may be paid or unpaid. Students comparing these options should ask about hourly pay, available hours, scheduling, and whether a position relates to their intended field.

The college reports career support that includes a job bank, employer recruitment, job fairs, résumé assistance, interview preparation, and access to alumni networking. Those services can help students search for work or internships, but availability of a service is not a guarantee of a position.
