• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $30,976.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,200.
• Reported room charge: $9,450.
• Reported board charge: $7,550.

Those figures are a reporting-year illustration, not an individual aid offer or a complete cost-of-attendance budget. For part-time study, the reported tuition charge was $500 per credit hour; a part-time student should not use the full-time total as a quote. Applicants should request the current academic year's itemized charges and ask which cadet-related costs, if any, are billed separately.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays. In the 2024-25 reporting data, all students in the measured aid group received some form of financial aid, while 9% received student loans; the average reported undergraduate grant award was $23,597. These figures describe recipients, not an award guaranteed to each new student. Eligible applicants should complete the FAFSA and ask the financial aid office about federal and Pennsylvania grants, institutional scholarships, loan terms, military education benefits, and any deadlines. A personalized aid offer is the appropriate basis for comparing net costs across colleges.

What are the work-study opportunities at Valley Forge Military College?

Valley Forge Military College reports individual career counseling for undergraduates. Students can use that service to discuss career interests, transfer plans, and the steps needed for a chosen occupation; it is different from a promise of an internship or a job.

Students seeking paid work should ask the financial aid office whether their award includes Federal Work-Study and how available positions are advertised. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program under which eligible students earn wages by working; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term and does not automatically assign a job. A regular part-time job has different eligibility rules. At a residential military college, applicants should check how either type of work would fit the required daily schedule before relying on expected earnings to cover bills.
