• 2024-25 required undergraduate fees: $1,640.
• 2024-25 tuition plus required fees: $13,288.

The full cost of attendance is higher than tuition and fees. It varies with a student's housing choice, meal plan, course materials and travel, and an online student's budget may differ from a residential student's. Applicants should use the current campus cost-of-attendance budget rather than add an older housing estimate to newer tuition figures.

Financial aid can substantially change the amount a student pays. In the reported aid data, 94% of students received financial aid, while 26% had student loans. Average net price - which accounts for grant and scholarship aid but is not a personal quote - was $6,368 for students in the reported $0-$48,000 family-income group and $13,542 for those in the $75,001-$110,000 group. Eligibility, living arrangements and academic load can produce a different result for an individual applicant.

Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, Minnesota aid programs, university scholarships and applicable military education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and checking Crookston's scholarship and aid deadlines are practical first steps; a financial aid offer should be read alongside the campus's current itemized cost estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Minnesota-Crookston?

Students seeking paid work at University of Minnesota Crookston should distinguish Federal Work-Study from other part-time employment. Work-Study is need-based federal financial aid for eligible students, but it generally pays wages for hours worked rather than reducing a tuition bill automatically.

Students can also look for campus jobs that are not funded through Federal Work-Study. Job availability, scheduling and hiring requirements vary by employer and term. A FAFSA may be needed to establish Work-Study eligibility; students should then review the university's student job postings and their aid offer rather than assume an award guarantees a position.

Career development is a related but different service. Crookston students can seek help with career exploration, applications, résumés, interviews and internship or job searches through campus career resources. A paid campus job may build useful experience, but it should not be confused with a required academic internship or a verified postgraduation employment outcome.
