What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Puerto Rico-Humacao?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, UPRH listed average full-time undergraduate tuition of $5,024 and required fees of $300, for $5,324 in those two published charges. The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same. These figures are not a complete cost of attendance.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $5,024 for the 2024-25 reporting year.
  • Required undergraduate fees: $300 for the same reporting year.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition: $157 per credit hour in the reported in-state and out-of-state categories.

A full-year budget also needs books and supplies, transportation, food, and housing or other living expenses. Because UPRH does not operate undergraduate housing, students should not interpret a housing allowance in a financial-aid budget as a charge for a campus residence hall. The amount an individual spends will depend heavily on whether they live with family, rent nearby, and commute.

Financial aid changes the amount a student ultimately pays. In 2024-25 reporting, 95% of students received some form of aid, while 4% received student loans. The average reported grant aid awarded to undergraduates was $6,772; that average is not an award offer to every applicant. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and other assistance after completing the applicable financial-aid forms. Veterans should also ask the campus office that handles education benefits how their particular benefit applies.

For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $12,957. Net price is an average estimate of attendance cost after grant and scholarship aid, not tuition alone or a bill every family will receive. A personalized aid offer and a realistic living-expense budget are needed to compare UPRH with another institution.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Puerto Rico-Humacao?

UPRH students can use career services for job preparation, while paid student employment depends on a position being available and the student meeting its requirements. Federal Work-Study, where awarded, is a need-based student employment program rather than a grant automatically credited against a tuition bill.

Reported career-center services include individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest testing, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Students can use these services to explore occupations and prepare applications; participation does not establish that a job offer will follow.

A student seeking Federal Work-Study should review their financial-aid offer and ask the financial-aid office how eligible students find and apply for jobs. A regular part-time job or a paid internship may have different eligibility rules and need not be part of a Work-Study award. Students in majors with required practical experience should also distinguish a degree-required placement from paid employment.
