Wilson College

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

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Wilson College was $25,950, with $1,150 in required fees. The reported rates were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Tuition and required fees therefore totaled $27,100 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $25,950
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,150
• Typical room charge: $5,500
• Typical board charge: $6,932

Adding those reported tuition, fee, room, and board amounts produces $39,532 for a residential student before other expenses. That is an illustration using 2024-25 figures, not a current bill or a complete cost-of-attendance budget. A commuter's housing and food costs will differ, and students should allow for books, travel, and personal spending. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $865 per credit hour; graduate pricing follows a different schedule.

Published charges are not the same as net price. Reported aid data indicate that 99% of students received some form of financial aid, while 67% had student loans. Aid may include grants and scholarships that do not ordinarily need repayment, as well as loans that do. Eligible students can investigate federal aid through the FAFSA, applicable Pennsylvania grants, Wilson institutional awards, and veterans' education benefits. An applicant should compare the college's current itemized cost estimate with a personal financial aid offer, paying close attention to what is a grant, what is a loan, and which costs are indirect.

What are the work-study opportunities at Wilson College?

Wilson students can pursue part-time work and use career services, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are different opportunities. Federal Work-Study depends on financial eligibility and available funding; an award does not by itself guarantee a position, and wages are generally earned through work rather than deducted automatically from tuition.

Students seeking employment should ask the financial aid or student employment office how Wilson posts openings and whether a particular job requires Work-Study eligibility. Those without a Work-Study award may still be able to apply for other part-time positions, depending on the employer's rules.

For career planning, Wilson reports individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. These services can help a student explore fields and prepare applications; they are not verified employment outcomes. An internship is not reported as a college-wide graduation requirement, although individual programs may require field experience.
