Villanova University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Villanova University?

Villanova charges the same published undergraduate tuition regardless of Pennsylvania residency. In the 2024-25 IPEDS figures, full-time undergraduate tuition was $66,838 and required fees were $938, for $67,776 before living and other expenses.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $67,776.
• Reported typical annual room and board: $18,520.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,110.

Adding those reported items produces $87,406, but that is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and other applicable charges can add to it. The figures should not be combined with tuition or housing prices from a different academic year to present a supposedly current annual total. Part-time, graduate, law, and professional-program pricing follows different schedules.

Published price is also different from net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, 69% of students received financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award among recipients was $43,855. Average net price varied considerably by family income: it was $16,496 for the lowest reported income band and $58,741 for families above $110,000. Those are group averages, not individual offers.

Eligible students may use federal grants and loans, applicable state assistance, institutional need-based or merit aid, and military education benefits. Aid requirements and deadlines differ, so an applicant should complete the FAFSA and any additional Villanova-requested forms on time, then compare the full aid offer with the university's cost-of-attendance budget. In particular, distinguish grants from loans and check whether an award renews under stated conditions.

What are the work-study opportunities at Villanova University?

Villanova students can seek part-time employment, including positions associated with Federal Work-Study when they qualify for that program. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid earned through a job; it is not a tuition discount paid automatically at the start of a term.

Students should use Villanova's student-employment and financial-aid resources to check eligibility, find openings, and understand work-hour or funding limits. Other campus jobs may be available without a Work-Study award, while internships have their own application processes and may be paid, unpaid, or for credit depending on the opportunity.

For career planning, Villanova's Career Center offers support such as advising, résumé and interview preparation, internship and job-search resources, and employer-facing events. These services can help students explore options and make applications; their availability is not evidence that an individual student will receive a particular job offer.
