SUNY at Fredonia

What is the cost of studying for a year at SUNY at Fredonia?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $7,070 for New York residents and $18,010 for out-of-state students. Required fees were $1,761 for either group. These are published charges, not an individual student's final bill after aid.

• New York resident tuition and required fees: $8,831.
• Out-of-state tuition and required fees: $15,905.
• Typical annual room and board charges: $15,990, consisting of $8,600 for a room and $7,390 for board.

Adding those reported room-and-board charges produces a basic annual tuition, fee, and housing-and-dining figure of $24,821 for a resident or $35,761 for a nonresident. Neither figure is a complete cost of attendance: books, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges can add to it. Students living elsewhere will have different housing costs.

A net price accounts for grants and scholarships rather than simply adding published charges. Reported average net prices vary with family income: $11,327 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $20,743 for those from families earning above $110,000. These are group averages, not individualized aid quotes. In the reported aid data, 97% of students received some form of financial aid, while 65% had student loans; the second figure is a reminder to separate grants from money that must be repaid.

Eligible students may pursue federal grants and loans, New York State assistance such as TAP, and institutional scholarships. Federal aid generally starts with the FAFSA; state and institutional awards can have additional applications or deadlines. Students using veteran or military education benefits should have the relevant benefits office review how those payments interact with their other aid.

What are the work-study opportunities at SUNY at Fredonia?

Fredonia offers student employment opportunities, while Federal Work-Study is available only to students who qualify for that need-based aid through the financial aid process. A work-study award indicates potential eligibility to earn wages; it is not an automatic job or an upfront reduction in the tuition bill.

Students may also seek ordinary part-time positions that do not require work-study eligibility. In either case, hiring depends on an available position and an employer's requirements. Applicants should distinguish paid campus work from an internship, which may instead be arranged through an academic department or employer.

Fredonia's career services can support a broader search through career counseling, résumé and interview preparation, job postings, employer events, and internship exploration. Students can use those services without assuming that a career-center appointment or campus job leads to a particular employment outcome.
