University of North Carolina at Pembroke

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of North Carolina at Pembroke?

UNCP participates in North Carolina's NC Promise tuition program, which keeps published undergraduate tuition comparatively low. In the reported 2024-25 figures, full-time undergraduate tuition was $1,000 for North Carolina residents and $5,000 for nonresidents for the academic year. Required fees were additional, as were living expenses.

• Resident undergraduate tuition and required fees: approximately $3,648 for 2025-26.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition and required fees: approximately $7,611 for 2025-26.
• Reported typical room and board: approximately $12,186 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: approximately $1,000.

Adding those listed amounts yields about $16,834 for a resident living in the priced housing-and-dining arrangement, or $20,834 for a nonresident. Neither sum is a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges would add to it. Commuters will have a different budget, not necessarily one without housing or food costs. Graduate tuition also follows different rates.

Published charges are not the same as the amount a student ultimately pays. The reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $8,892 after applicable grant aid, but an individual award depends on eligibility and circumstances. About 90% of students in the reported aid data received some form of financial aid, and 43% had student loans. Students should complete the FAFSA, review North Carolina and institutional grant or scholarship eligibility, and compare their own aid offer with a full budget that includes indirect expenses.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of North Carolina at Pembroke?

Eligible UNCP students may pursue Federal Work-Study jobs as part of a financial-aid package, as well as other part-time employment where positions are available. Federal Work-Study generally requires demonstrated financial need and a qualifying aid award; receiving an award does not by itself place a student in a job or pay the full award upfront.

Student jobs can provide wages during enrollment, while internships serve a different purpose and may be paid, unpaid, or attached to academic credit. UNCP's career services report offering individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job listings, employer events, and internship-related support. Students interested in campus work should check both their financial-aid eligibility and the current student job postings, since hiring and schedules depend on available positions.
