Wofford College

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

Wofford is a private college, so its published undergraduate tuition does not differ by South Carolina residency. For 2024-25, reported full-time tuition was $54,080, with $1,925 in required fees. Tuition and fees are only part of the cost of attending: students also need to budget for housing, meals, books, transportation and personal expenses.

• 2024-25 reported full-time undergraduate tuition: $54,080.
• 2024-25 reported required fees: $1,925.
• Separately reported typical academic-year room and board charges: $16,870.
• Separately reported books and supplies estimate: $1,307.

The room, board and book figures should not be combined with another year's tuition to present a current official cost-of-attendance total. Later published tuition figures may also differ from the 2024-25 amounts. For an enrollment decision, the relevant comparison is Wofford's full cost-of-attendance budget for the student's actual entry year against that student's individualized aid offer.

Published price is not necessarily net price. In the reported aid data, 99% of undergraduates received financial aid, and the average grant award across the specified grant sources was $40,681. Grants generally do not require repayment, whereas loans do. The reported average net price was $11,627 for families earning up to $48,000 and $23,770 for families earning above $110,000. Those are group averages after grant aid, not quotes for an applicant.

Students seeking assistance should follow Wofford's current financial aid instructions for federal aid, institutional scholarships and any applicable South Carolina programs. Eligibility, application forms and priority dates can differ by aid type. Federal loans and qualifying military education benefits may also be part of an individual financing plan, but neither should be mistaken for a reduction in the college's published charges.

What are the work-study opportunities at Wofford College?

Wofford students can pursue part-time employment and use the college's career resources to explore work after graduation. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's financial aid package, is earned through an approved job; it is not a grant deposited in full at the beginning of a term.

A student with a Work-Study award still needs to find an eligible position, complete hiring requirements and work the hours to receive wages. Other campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules. Applicants comparing aid offers should therefore distinguish a prospective wage opportunity from money that directly reduces a tuition bill.

For career development, Wofford reports resources including résumé preparation, interview workshops, career and interest assessment, a job bank, and alumni networking or mentoring opportunities. Students seeking an internship or a job related to their major should ask the career office how appointments, employer postings and academic internship approval work. Access to career support is not itself a verified employment outcome.
