For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $24,693 and required fees were $1,280, for a combined published tuition-and-fees amount of $25,973. The same reported amounts applied to in-state and out-of-state students. A reported part-time tuition charge was $926 per credit; a student's actual bill depends on their course load and program charges.
Tuition and fees are not the full cost of attendance. A student also needs to budget for housing, food, transportation, books, supplies, and any nursing-specific expenses identified in the current catalog. Because the college does not provide undergraduate housing, a room-and-board budget is an estimate of living expenses, not a charge for a campus residence hall. A separately reported full-time tuition figure of $22,224 should not be combined with the 2024-25 fees to create a purported 2024-25 total.
Financial aid can change what an individual pays. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $7,279, while 84% of students received student loans. Grants generally do not require repayment; loans generally do. Eligible students can ask the financial aid office about the FAFSA, federal grants and loans, applicable Florida aid, institutional scholarships, and veterans' or military education benefits. An aid offer and a personalized cost-of-attendance budget are more useful for planning than subtracting an average grant from the published price.
Students considering work while enrolled should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study, which is a need-based federal aid program with its own eligibility and job-availability rules. An award or eligibility determination does not automatically place a student in a job.
Fort Lauderdale applicants should ask the financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study positions are offered for their enrollment period, how positions are advertised, and whether any approved off-campus jobs qualify. Nursing skills practice and clinical assignments can make a fixed work schedule difficult, so students should compare prospective job hours with the actual term-by-term course schedule. Clinical education is part of academic training and should not be treated as paid employment unless a specific position is explicitly offered as such.
