William Jewell College

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was the same for Missouri residents and out-of-state students. Tuition is only one part of the annual cost: mandatory fees, housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses can all affect the amount a student needs to finance.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $19,320 for the 2024-25 academic year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,290 for the 2024-25 academic year.
• Typical room and board charges: $11,510 for the academic year, combining reported room and meal charges.
• Reported books and supplies: $840.

Those listed items total $32,960 before transportation and personal expenses. This is an illustration using the reported charges, not a complete student-specific cost-of-attendance budget. A commuter or a student with a different housing or meal arrangement will have different costs.

Financial aid changes the calculation. Reported average net prices - cost after grant and scholarship aid - vary substantially by family income; the reported average for families with annual income of $48,000 or less is $4,356. An average is not a price quote. Applicants should compare their own aid offer, including the distinction between grants they do not repay and loans they generally must repay, against the college's current cost-of-attendance estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at William Jewell College?

William Jewell students can explore campus employment as a way to earn money during the academic year. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, is an employment opportunity rather than a grant paid automatically toward the tuition bill.

Students should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify for Federal Work-Study and where current positions are posted. Job availability, hours, and hiring decisions can still vary even when a student is eligible. Ordinary part-time campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules; internships may offer academic credit, pay, both, or neither. For career-related work, the college's career services can assist with job searches, interviewing, résumés, and employer contacts.
