For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $10,560 for Tennessee residents: $8,802 in tuition plus $1,758 in fees. The corresponding reported amount for out-of-state students was approximately $16,864. These are published charges before grants, scholarships or other aid, and they are not a complete annual living budget.
Housing and meal charges vary with the choices a student makes. Transportation, personal expenses and some course-specific costs also belong in an individual budget. Simply adding published tuition to a typical housing charge may therefore understate a student's full cost of attendance.
Aid changes the picture, but not equally for everyone. Reported average net prices - cost after grant and scholarship aid - for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less were $8,961; for the $48,001-$75,000 band, the figure was $11,640. These are averages for the relevant groups, not personalized quotes. Eligible students may receive federal or Tennessee grants and institutional scholarships; loans, unlike grants, generally must be repaid. A student comparing offers should use the university's current cost-of-attendance estimate and their own financial-aid notice rather than applying an average net price to their circumstances.
UT Martin students may seek part-time work alongside their studies, including campus jobs and, for eligible students, positions funded through Federal Work-Study. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program: an award indicates possible earnings from a qualifying job, not money automatically credited to a student's account or a guaranteed position.
Students generally establish federal aid eligibility through the FAFSA and then apply for available jobs under the university's hiring procedures. A regular campus job may have different eligibility rules and need not carry a work-study award. For career-related experience, UT Martin's career services include job-search assistance, résumé and interview preparation, employer events and internship support; an internship should be evaluated separately for pay, academic credit and scheduling.
