For 2024-25, Strayer University-Delaware reported the same full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students: $13,725, plus $195 in required fees. That makes $13,920 in reported tuition and required fees for the year, before living expenses and other educational costs.
Books, supplies, transportation, and living costs add to what a student must budget. A reported $9,438 room-and-board figure is an expense estimate, not a charge for a Strayer residence hall; the institution does not offer college-operated undergraduate housing. A $675 books-and-supplies figure is likewise a planning figure, not a guarantee about a particular course load. Because published figures can represent different reporting measures, they should not be added together and labeled a current individual bill.
Financial aid can reduce the amount paid out of pocket without eliminating the cost of attendance. In 2024-25 reporting, the average grant-aid award cited for undergraduates was $6,002, while 80% of students in the reported aid measure had student loans. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans through the FAFSA and may also qualify for other assistance or military education benefits. A personalized aid offer should separate grants from loans and show the cost for the student's actual credit load.
Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish three things: Federal Work-Study, an ordinary part-time job, and a career-related internship. They have different eligibility rules and are not interchangeable sources of tuition assistance.
Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job rather than a grant paid simply for enrolling. An aid offer would need to identify a Work-Study award, and the student would still have to find an eligible position and work the hours. Ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study positions are available to students enrolled through Delaware and how to apply.
For longer-term career planning, students can also ask Strayer about its current career-support tools, such as résumé review, job-search guidance, employer events, or internship assistance. Access to a service should not be confused with a verified job placement or employment outcome.
