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

For 2024-25, Wilmington University's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $12,570, with $60 in required fees, for $12,630 in those two published charges. The reported part-time undergraduate rate was $419 per credit. In-state and out-of-state students were charged the same reported rates.

Tuition and mandatory fees are not the entire cost of attendance. Books and supplies were estimated at $2,000, while students must also budget for their own housing, food, transportation and personal expenses. Wilmington University does not operate undergraduate housing, so a generic room-and-board figure should not be mistaken for a residence-hall bill. Program-specific fees, course materials and required equipment may add costs.

For context, the reported average net price for students from families earning $0-48,000 was $15,920; for the $48,001-75,000 bracket, it was $16,623. Net price reflects costs after applicable grant aid for a defined group, not a quote for every applicant. About 60% of students received financial aid in the reported period, and 46% had student loans. Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, along with applicable state aid, institutional scholarships and military education benefits. A personalized aid offer and an estimate based on the student's actual living arrangements are more useful than tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Wilmington University?

Wilmington University students may seek part-time work while enrolled, but a job and an aid award are different things. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a need-based aid program that supports wages from an approved job; receiving an award does not by itself place the student in a position or pay the full award upfront.

Students considering work-study should check their financial-aid offer and ask the financial aid office how approved positions are advertised and what employment paperwork is required. Ordinary part-time jobs do not require a work-study award, while internships may carry academic requirements and may be paid or unpaid. Wilmington University's career services include job-search support, résumé assistance, interview preparation, career counseling, employer connections and networking resources. Those services can help with a search, but they are not employment guarantees.
