University of Portland

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

The University of Portland charges the same published undergraduate tuition to Oregon and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $56,800, with $1,300 in required fees. Those amounts are billed charges, not the full cost of attending or the amount every student ultimately pays.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition: $56,800.
• 2024-25 required undergraduate fees: $1,300.
• Reported typical annual room and board: $18,000.
• Reported books and supplies: $990.

Adding those reported components produces $77,090, before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs. It is an illustration assembled from the listed charges, not a complete university-issued cost-of-attendance budget. Housing and meal choices can change the actual bill, and graduate students face a different tuition structure.

Grants and scholarships can materially reduce the published price. The reported average grant aid awarded to undergraduates was $37,702, but an average award is not a personal offer. Reported average net price also varied by family income: it was $16,577 for families earning no more than $48,000 and $37,284 for families earning above $110,000. Net price estimates reflect aid and included expenses for the measured students; an applicant should compare their own aid offer with a current, itemized cost-of-attendance estimate.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, applicable Oregon aid, and university scholarships or grants. Completing the FAFSA and meeting the university's aid deadlines are practical first steps. Military education benefits may also apply to eligible students, but benefit amounts and how they interact with other aid depend on the individual program.

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

University of Portland students can pursue part-time employment and use career services while enrolled. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, provides access to qualifying paid jobs; it is not a grant paid automatically, and earnings generally depend on hours actually worked.

Students without a Work-Study award may still be eligible for other campus jobs. Job availability, hiring procedures, permitted hours, and whether a role is career-related vary by position. Applicants comparing aid offers should not subtract an entire Work-Study award from an upfront tuition bill as though it were a scholarship.

The university reports career counseling for undergraduates, résumé and interview assistance, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking opportunities. These services can support a job or internship search, but they are not placement guarantees. An internship is not required of every student; requirements should be checked within the individual major.
