• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $17,812

Other annual tuition figures associated with Academy College are substantially higher, so applicants should not treat the amount above as an all-inclusive quote for every program. In particular, request an itemized aviation estimate that identifies aircraft rental, instructor time, simulator use, supplies, examinations, and the assumptions used to calculate flight hours.

Published charges are not the same as net price, which accounts for grant aid and estimated attendance expenses. The reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $29,015; for the $48,001-$75,000 band, it was $24,391. Those are group averages, not individualized offers. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans and applicable state or military benefits; roughly half of students were reported as receiving financial aid. An applicant should compare a current, program-specific cost-of-attendance budget with their own aid offer before deciding what they would need to pay or borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Academy College?

Students interested in earning money while enrolled should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study, when offered and awarded, is need-based aid earned through eligible employment; it is not a grant paid simply for accepting an award.

Applicants should ask Academy College's financial aid office whether Work-Study positions are available for their enrollment term, how students apply, and whether any jobs are compatible with their class or flight schedule. They should also ask the program office how it supports internship or employer connections. Work hours, internship credit, and eventual employment are separate matters, and a job should not be counted toward an education budget until its pay and hours are confirmed.
