The University of Tampa

What is the cost of studying for a year at The University of Tampa?

Attending The University of Tampa involves tuition and fees plus living and educational expenses. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $32,096 and required fees were $2,312. The listed amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students, unlike the resident and nonresident pricing common at public universities.

Reported typical room and board charges totaled $13,772 for the academic year, and books and supplies were estimated at $1,500. Adding those amounts to tuition and required fees produces $49,680, before transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific charges. It is an illustrative combination of reported 2024-25 figures, not a complete or current individual bill. Housing choice and meal plan can also change the amount due.

Financial aid can substantially change what a student pays, but receiving aid does not mean all costs are covered. The reported average grant award to undergraduates receiving grant aid was $13,999. Average net price - the estimated cost after grants and scholarships - was $31,513 for students from families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less. That average is not a quote for an individual applicant. Students can seek federal grants and loans, applicable Florida assistance, institutional scholarships and eligible military education benefits; applications and eligibility rules differ. An aid offer should be compared against the full cost of attendance, including expenses that will not appear on a tuition bill.

What are the work-study opportunities at The University of Tampa?

University of Tampa students may pursue campus jobs, while those awarded Federal Work-Study may be eligible for positions funded through that federal aid program. Work-Study eligibility is determined through the financial aid process; an award is not the same as a guaranteed job or money automatically deducted from tuition.

Students should check available positions and hiring instructions through university student-employment resources. Ordinary part-time campus employment may have different eligibility rules from Work-Study, and an internship may be paid, unpaid or completed for academic credit depending on the placement. For career development, the university reports offering individual and group career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruiting and alumni networking. Those services help with a search but do not establish a graduate's employment outcome.
