The College of Idaho

What is the cost of studying for a year at The College of Idaho?

The College of Idaho 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 $36,750 and required fees were $1,095. Published charges are the starting point for a budget, not necessarily what a student pays after aid.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees: $37,845 for the reported academic year.
• Typical room and board: $13,023, comprising a $5,878 room charge and a $7,145 board charge.
• Books and supplies: approximately $1,200.

Those listed amounts sum to $52,068 before transportation, personal expenses, or any applicant-specific charges. They should not be mistaken for a complete official cost-of-attendance budget. Housing choice, meal plan, and other expenses can change the total, and students comparing offers should use the same academic year for every college.

Aid can make the published price substantially different from the net price. Reported average net prices by family-income band range from $16,218 for families earning up to $48,000 to $23,095 for families earning above $110,000. These are averages after applicable grant and scholarship aid, not individualized quotes or promises. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $27,319, while 47% of students received loans. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, state assistance, institutional scholarships, and qualifying military or veterans' benefits. The financial aid application and award letter are the appropriate places to separate grants from money that must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at The College of Idaho?

Students may be able to work while attending The College of Idaho through campus jobs or, if eligible and awarded funding, Federal Work-Study. Work-study is a need-based federal student-aid program under which students earn wages from an approved job; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term.

An ordinary part-time campus job does not require a work-study award, while an internship may be undertaken primarily for academic or career experience. Availability, pay, and hiring procedures can differ among these options. Students interested in work-study should complete the required financial aid application, check whether work-study appears in their aid offer, and ask the financial aid or student employment office how to find eligible openings. A work-study award does not itself guarantee a position or a particular number of hours.
