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

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Villa Maria College's published full-time undergraduate tuition was $27,530, with $1,140 in required fees. Together, those charges total $28,670 before books, transportation, living expenses, and other personal costs. The reported tuition and fee amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $27,530 for the academic year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,140 for the academic year.
• Combined published tuition and required fees: $28,670 for the academic year.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $915 per credit hour, before any applicable fees.

Published charges are not the same as a student's final bill or full cost of attendance. A student living independently must budget for housing and food even though the college does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing. Books, supplies, transportation, and personal expenses also vary.

In the 2024-25 financial-aid reporting, 99% of students received financial aid and 52% had student loans. The reported average grant aid awarded to undergraduates was $18,596, but an average award is not an individual offer. Reported average net prices also differed by family income: for families earning $0-$48,000, the figure was $13,265; for families earning above $110,000, it was $25,069. Net price estimates reflect aid and included expenses, so they should not simply be subtracted from tuition.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, New York State assistance, and institutional scholarships. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the starting point for federal aid. Before enrolling, applicants should compare their own award letter and cost-of-attendance budget, distinguishing grants from loans and checking whether an award renews in later years.

What are the work-study opportunities at Villa Maria College?

Villa Maria students can pursue employment and career-building experience while enrolled, but a paid student job, Federal Work-Study award, and academic internship are different arrangements. A Work-Study award, when included in an eligible student's financial-aid package, permits earnings from qualifying work; it is not money automatically credited to a tuition bill.

Students seeking a campus job should ask the financial-aid office whether they qualify for Federal Work-Study and how available positions are posted. They should also confirm the expected hours, pay process, and whether a particular job requires Work-Study eligibility. Ordinary part-time jobs may have different hiring rules.

The college reports internship requirements and career-center services, including résumé help, interview preparation, job listings, career counseling, and employer recruitment. An internship's academic-credit rules and pay status should be checked with the student's program; completing one does not necessarily mean it qualifies as Federal Work-Study or paid employment.
