University of Louisiana at Monroe

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $9,190 for Louisiana residents: $5,788 in tuition plus $3,402 in fees. The corresponding reported out-of-state total is $22,166; the larger difference appears in required fees rather than the listed tuition amount.

• Louisiana resident tuition and required fees: $9,190.
• Out-of-state tuition and required fees: $22,166.
• Reported typical room and board: $9,746 for an academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,300.

Adding those listed expenses produces $20,236 for a resident living with the reported room-and-board arrangement, or $32,336 for a nonresident. Neither sum is a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and potentially different housing or course costs still need to be included. Commuters will have a different budget, and program charges or residency decisions can change a bill.

Financial aid can lower the amount a student pays. In the reported aid data, 98% of students received some form of aid, while 35% had student loans; neither statistic means every student received a grant. Reported average net prices - cost after grant and scholarship aid - range from $11,553 for families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less to $18,642 for families above $110,000. Those are averages for defined income groups, not individual offers. Eligible students can seek federal grants and loans, Louisiana state aid, and institutional scholarships by completing the applicable financial aid and scholarship steps. Comparing a personalized aid offer with a full living-expense budget is more useful than comparing tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Louisiana at Monroe?

ULM students can explore part-time employment and career services alongside their studies. Federal Work-Study, when awarded to an eligible student, provides an opportunity to earn wages through qualifying work; it is not a grant paid automatically against the tuition bill and does not guarantee a job.

Students considering Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask how ULM posts and fills eligible positions. Ordinary campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules. An internship is different again: it may provide academic credit or professional experience, and ULM does not require one of every student.

ULM's reported career services include individual and group career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, career-interest testing, a job bank, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. Those services can help a student search for work or clarify a major, but their availability is not an employment guarantee.
