Valencia College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Valencia College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Valencia College was $2,467 for Florida residents and $9,379 for nonresidents, with $197 in required fees in either category. These are published charges before individual financial aid and do not represent the complete cost of attending.

• Florida resident: $2,467 in reported full-time tuition, plus $197 in required fees.
• Nonresident: $9,379 in reported full-time tuition, plus $197 in required fees.
• Reported part-time per-credit charges: approximately $105 in-state or $400 out-of-state.

Students must also budget for books and supplies, transportation, food, housing, and personal expenses. The reported books-and-supplies estimate is $2,149, while a reported room-and-board budgeting figure is $14,802. That housing figure is an expense estimate - not a charge for a Valencia residence hall, because the college does not operate student housing. Actual expenses depend heavily on living arrangements and course materials.

Financial aid changes what some students ultimately pay. In 2024-25 figures, 75% of students received financial aid, and 12% had student loans. Reported average net price for students from families with annual income up to $48,000 was $11,575; net price includes more than tuition and represents an average after grant aid, not an individual quote. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Florida aid, and Valencia scholarships through the applicable financial aid processes. Completing the FAFSA and checking scholarship-specific requirements are practical first steps; Florida residency for tuition purposes must also be established separately.

What are the work-study opportunities at Valencia College?

Eligible Valencia College students may be able to earn money through Federal Work-Study or other student jobs. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial aid program: eligibility depends on the student's aid assessment and available funding, and an award does not itself place a student in a job.

Students seeking work should review their financial aid offer and current campus job postings, then apply for positions that fit their schedule. An ordinary part-time job may be available without Work-Study eligibility, while an internship may be unpaid, paid by an employer, or connected to a course; these are different arrangements.

Valencia also offers career-planning support beyond student employment. Reported services include individual and group career counseling, interest assessment, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job-search resources, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can help a student search and prepare, but they should not be read as a job-placement guarantee.
