University of New England

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

UNE charges the same published undergraduate tuition regardless of whether a student comes from Maine or another state. In the 2024-25 institutional figures, full-time undergraduate tuition was $42,650 and required fees were $1,560. Housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses add to the cost of attending.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition: $42,650.
• 2024-25 required undergraduate fees: $1,560.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $18,690.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,200.

Those figures illustrate different expense categories; the room-and-board and book figures should not be assumed to come from the same annual price schedule as the 2024-25 tuition figures. A current, personalized cost-of-attendance estimate is the appropriate basis for a family budget. Graduate and professional tuition can differ substantially by program and should not be inferred from undergraduate prices.

Financial aid can reduce the amount a student pays, but "receiving aid" does not mean attending free. In the reported undergraduate aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 41% received student loans. Average grant aid was $22,505. Reported average net prices - which reflect costs after grant aid, not necessarily after borrowing - ranged from about $32,046 for families in the lowest stated income band to $41,991 for families above $110,000.

Eligible students may combine institutional scholarships with federal or state grants, federal loans, and other assistance. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is central to federal-aid eligibility; students should also check UNE's scholarship procedures and priority dates. Veterans and eligible dependents should confirm how their particular education benefits interact with UNE charges and other aid. A financial aid offer is more useful than a published sticker price for comparing actual options, provided the student distinguishes grants from loans and work earnings.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of New England?

UNE students can pursue part-time employment, and eligible students may have access to Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program that generally requires a FAFSA and an eligible job; an award indicates potential earnings, not money automatically deducted from a bill.

Students can also look for campus jobs that are not funded through Federal Work-Study. In either case, they ordinarily must apply for a position and work the hours to receive wages. Job availability and schedules can matter as much as eligibility, particularly for students balancing labs or clinical placements.

UNE's career services are a separate resource for career exploration and job preparation. Reported services include individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job listings and fairs, employer recruitment, and opportunities to connect with alumni. Students seeking an internship or a career-related campus job should ask both the relevant academic department and career services about requirements; UNE does not require an internship of every student.
