University of Jamestown

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

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $24,000, with $990 in required fees. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $25,490.
• Typical room and board charges: $10,390.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,300.

Those listed components total $36,680 for a student paying the stated housing and dining charges. That is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses and individual program costs may add to it. A commuter's housing and food costs will differ, and graduate and part-time tuition is priced separately.

Published charges are not the same as the amount a family ultimately pays. In the same reporting, the average net price for students from families earning $0-48,000 was $14,826; net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid, not after loans. University of Jamestown reported that all students in the measured aid population received some form of financial aid, while 61% used student loans. The average grant award was $17,105 among recipients. Individual aid packages can differ considerably.

Eligible students can seek federal grants and loans, applicable state aid and institutional scholarships through the university's financial-aid process. Completing the FAFSA and checking the university's scholarship and priority-date rules are practical first steps. Students eligible for military education benefits should have those benefits evaluated as part of their own aid package rather than subtracting an institutional average from the published price.

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

Part-time work can help University of Jamestown students meet expenses, but Federal Work-Study and an ordinary student job are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students; an award permits a student to earn wages through an eligible position and is not a lump-sum tuition discount or a guarantee of employment.

Students seeking work should check their financial-aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and ask how campus jobs are posted and hired. Jobs without a Work-Study requirement may also be an option, subject to employer availability. An internship is different again: it may provide academic credit or professional experience and is not required of every University of Jamestown student.

The university reports career support that includes individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events and alumni networking. Those services can help students prepare applications and explore careers, but they should not be confused with a verified job-placement rate.
