For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Aaniiih Nakoda College was $2,560, with $520 in required fees, for $3,080 in tuition and fees. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. The reported part-time tuition charge was $80 per credit hour; a part-time student's total also depends on applicable fees.
The published tuition-and-fees figure is not a complete cost of attendance. Students also need a budget for books, transportation, food, and housing if applicable. The college does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing, so a room-and-board estimate should not be mistaken for a residence-hall price. Reported average net price after aid was $4,882 for students from families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less; that is an average for a particular income group, not a price quote or an additional charge on top of tuition.
Financial aid can change what an eligible student pays. Reported data indicate that 96% of students received financial aid, while 0% received student loans in the reported measure. Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and ask the financial aid office about applicable federal grants, Montana aid, tribal assistance, and institutional scholarships. Receiving aid does not mean every living expense will be covered.
Students looking for paid work while enrolled should ask Aaniiih Nakoda College's financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study positions are available in the current year. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid earned through an eligible job; it is not a grant paid automatically with an aid award.
A student's eligibility, available funding, and the existence of a suitable opening are separate questions. Ordinary part-time employment does not require a Work-Study award, while an internship may be unpaid or governed by a program's academic rules. Students balancing work and classes should discuss schedules with an adviser before assuming that every required course can be taken outside working hours.
