University of Saint Francis-Fort Wayne

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Saint Francis-Fort Wayne?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $35,210, with $1,250 in required fees - $36,460 combined before housing, food, books and personal expenses. The reported tuition and fees did not differ for Indiana and out-of-state undergraduates. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $1,120 per credit hour.

Housing and dining, transportation, supplies and personal spending can substantially increase the amount a student needs to budget. A reported room-and-board figure of $11,930 and books-and-supplies figure of $1,880 are useful planning references, but students should use the university's cost-of-attendance estimate for their own academic year and living arrangement rather than combine figures from different reporting years into a bill.

Published price is not the same as net price. In 2024-25 reporting, the average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $12,392; for the $75,001-$110,000 income band, it was $21,248. Those are group averages after grant aid, not individual quotes. All students in the reported aid population received some form of financial aid, while 61% had student loans - an important distinction because loans must generally be repaid.

Eligible students may be able to combine institutional scholarships with federal or Indiana grants, subject to program rules and their aid offer. Filing the FAFSA is the key step for assessing federal aid and many other forms of assistance. Compare offers by separating grants and scholarships from loans and expected work earnings, then account for any costs not billed directly by the university. Students using military education benefits should have the benefits office confirm how those payments interact with other aid.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Saint Francis-Fort Wayne?

Students seeking part-time work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from ordinary campus employment. Work-Study is need-based federal aid awarded through the financial aid process; an award provides eligibility to earn wages through an approved job, not an upfront grant or a guarantee of a position.

Campus departments may also hire students outside Work-Study. Applicants should ask financial aid how to determine Work-Study eligibility and where Saint Francis posts openings. For career-related experience, an internship or field placement serves a different purpose and may be unpaid, paid or required by a major.

Students looking beyond a campus job can ask about career advising, résumé review, interview preparation and employer connections relevant to their field. They should confirm which services are currently offered and whether internships earn academic credit. Career support is useful, but it should not be mistaken for a verified placement rate or job guarantee.
