University of South Carolina Beaufort

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of South Carolina Beaufort?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $10,730 for South Carolina residents and $21,776 for out-of-state students. Those published charges are only part of an annual education budget.

• In-state undergraduate tuition and required fees: $10,730.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition and required fees: $21,776.
• Typical annual room and board: $12,630.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,552.

Adding the listed 2024-25 charges produces $24,912 for a resident living on campus or $35,958 for a nonresident living on campus, before transportation, personal spending, and other applicable expenses. These are arithmetic comparisons, not USCB's complete official cost-of-attendance budgets. Commuters will have different housing and travel costs.

Net price is different from sticker price: it subtracts applicable grant and scholarship aid from attendance costs. The reported average net price was $10,614 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $19,001 for those from families earning $75,001-$110,000. These income-group averages are not individual aid quotes, and loans do not reduce what a student ultimately owes.

Reported aid figures show that 92% of students received financial aid and 49% used student loans. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, South Carolina aid programs, institutional scholarships, and military education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and checking USCB's scholarship and aid deadlines are practical first steps; residency and program rules can change the amount available.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of South Carolina Beaufort?

USCB students can explore part-time employment alongside their studies, including positions connected to campus offices and, where eligible and available, Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program under which an eligible student earns wages by working; it is not a grant paid simply for accepting an aid offer.

Students should review their financial-aid offer and ask the aid office how to find current openings, whether a position requires a separate application, and how many hours can fit their schedule. Students without Work-Study eligibility may still seek ordinary part-time jobs. An internship is different again: it may provide academic credit or career experience, and its pay depends on the position.

USCB reports offering individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, interview workshops, career-interest assessments, job listings, and employer events. These services can help students prepare for a search, but access to them should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
