Xavier University of Louisiana

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

Xavier charges the same reported full-time undergraduate tuition to in-state and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, IPEDS lists tuition of $25,829 and required fees of $3,150, totaling $28,979 before living expenses and books. An actual bill can differ with enrollment, course-specific charges, housing, and later-year price changes.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $28,979 for a full-time student.
• Reported room and board charge: $12,026 annually.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,385 annually.

Those amounts add to $42,390, but that arithmetic is not a complete, individually calculated cost of attendance. It does not include transportation, personal expenses, or every possible program charge, and students who live off campus may have different housing costs. Graduate and professional tuition schedules differ from undergraduate pricing.

Published charges are also not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. For students in the applicable IPEDS aid population, the reported average annual net price was $15,094 for families with income up to $48,000 and $17,836 for those with income from $48,001 to $75,000. These are group averages, not aid offers. Xavier reports that 100% of students in the measured aid group received financial aid, while 56% had student loans; borrowing must generally be repaid.

Eligible students may finance attendance through federal grants and loans, applicable Louisiana aid, institutional scholarships, and other awards. Veterans and eligible family members may also be able to use military education benefits. Completing the required aid applications and reviewing Xavier's individual aid offer are the practical ways to compare the amount billed, grants that do not require repayment, and any remaining financing gap.

What are the work-study opportunities at Xavier University of Louisiana?

Students can pursue part-time employment and career support at Xavier, but a campus job should not be assumed to come with admission or a financial-aid offer. Federal Work-Study, when awarded, is a need-based aid program under which eligible students earn wages through approved employment; it is not an automatic discount applied to tuition.

Students considering work should check their aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and ask how Xavier posts available positions and approves hours. Jobs outside Federal Work-Study are a separate possibility and may have different hiring and pay arrangements. Either kind of work needs to fit around classes, labs, and other degree requirements.

Xavier's career services include individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, job fairs, and employer recruitment. These services can help students explore careers and seek internships or employment, but their availability should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome for every graduate.
