University of Guam

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $6,110 for Guam residents: $5,304 in tuition plus $806 in fees. For nonresidents, the corresponding total was $11,414, including $10,608 in tuition and the same reported fees. Residency classification therefore makes a substantial difference to the published price.

• Reported annual room and board: $6,128.
• Reported annual books and supplies: $2,150.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $221 per credit for residents and $442 per credit for nonresidents, before applicable fees.

Those amounts should not be added together as a complete cost-of-attendance estimate for every student. Housing arrangements vary, and transportation and personal expenses also matter - particularly for commuters. The university's current financial-aid budget can provide an estimate matched to a student's living arrangement and enrollment level.

Aid can lower the amount a student ultimately pays. In the reported 2024-25 aid data, 85% of students received financial aid, while 12% had student loans; the average undergraduate grant award was $6,588. Eligible students may consider federal grants, loans, institutional scholarships, and applicable military education benefits. The FAFSA and the university's financial-aid instructions establish the steps and deadlines for seeking assistance. Average aid and net-price figures describe groups of students, not an individual award.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Guam?

University of Guam students can seek part-time work and career support while enrolled. Federal Work-Study, when offered in an eligible student's aid package, is earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically at the start of the term. Other campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules.

The university reports career resources including individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can help students explore work or internships, but they are not job-placement guarantees. A student considering Work-Study should check both the financial-aid award and the process for applying to an actual position; receiving an award does not itself secure a job.
