Ambria College of Nursing

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

The useful price comparison for Ambria is the full cost of a specific nursing pathway, not tuition alone. Request a current, itemized estimate showing how many terms and credits the pathway requires; an annual estimate may not capture the entire program.

• Tuition and mandatory college fees for the intended program and enrollment schedule.
• Books, supplies, uniforms, equipment, and any required technology.
• Examination, background-check, health-documentation, and licensing-related charges where applicable.
• Transportation to class and clinical sites, plus living expenses while enrolled.

Financial aid changes what an eligible student may pay but does not erase the published price. The 2024-25 aid statistics report an average undergraduate grant award of $3,364 and show that 55% of students in the reported aid measure used student loans. Those figures are not an individual aid offer. Ask the financial aid office which federal grants and loans, Illinois grants, institutional awards, and military or veteran benefits apply to your program, then compare the written aid offer with the full cost of attendance. Submit the FAFSA if seeking federal aid, and check the college's applicable deadlines.

What are the work-study opportunities at Ambria College of Nursing?

Working while enrolled may be possible, but nursing students should plan around fixed lab times, clinical shifts, and study demands. A paid outside job, an unpaid clinical placement, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements.

Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through an approved job; an award does not automatically place the student in a position or pay tuition upfront. Ask Ambria's financial aid office whether the intended program participates, how jobs are advertised, and whether work can be scheduled around clinical assignments. For career preparation, also ask whether staff offer résumé reviews, interview practice, employer introductions, or help with a nursing job search, rather than assuming those services are included.
