Troy University

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

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $10,176 for Alabama residents and $26,100 for nonresidents. Those are published tuition figures, not what every student pays after aid, and tuition may differ by enrollment level, program, or later academic year.

• 2025-26 in-state undergraduate tuition: $10,176.
• 2025-26 out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $26,100.
• Reported annual room and board: $8,979 combined.
• Reported books and supplies: about $1,000.

Using those reported figures, an in-state student paying the stated tuition and room-and-board amounts would face about $20,155 before books, transportation, personal expenses, and any applicable additional charges. Adding the reported books estimate brings that partial calculation to about $21,155; it is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget. An out-of-state student would start with higher tuition. The room-and-board figure is most relevant to a student using a comparable housing and meal arrangement, not necessarily to a commuter.

Financial aid can change the amount a student ultimately pays. The reported average net price was $12,042 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $18,406 for those in the $75,001-$110,000 range. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for a defined student group; it is not an individual quote and does not erase loans. Troy reports that 96% of students received some form of financial aid, while 67% had student loans. Eligible students can investigate federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, along with university scholarships, applicable state assistance, and veterans' or military education benefits. An applicant's own aid offer and Troy's current cost-of-attendance budget provide a better basis for planning than a published average alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Troy University?

Troy students can pursue part-time employment alongside their studies, including positions for which Federal Work-Study funding may be available to eligible students. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial aid program that pays students for hours worked; it is not a grant paid simply because an award appears on an aid offer, and an award does not automatically place a student in a job.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid eligibility, and follow Troy's student-employment application process. Other campus jobs may be open without a Work-Study award, while internships have separate academic and employer requirements. Troy's career services offer individual and group career planning, résumé and interview assistance, job-search resources, career fairs, and employer contacts. Students seeking experience directly related to a major should distinguish a paid campus position from an internship that carries academic credit or fulfills a program requirement.
