Arizona College of Nursing-Ontario

What is the cost of studying for a year at Arizona College of Nursing-Ontario?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Arizona College of Nursing-Ontario was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees together totaled $29,720 for that reporting year, before living and other expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $30,293 for in-state or out-of-state students.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,344.
• Reported part-time tuition charge: $1,136 per credit hour.

These figures are not a complete annual cost of attendance. A student may also need to budget for housing, food, books, supplies, transportation and clinical-related expenses. Because the college does not operate undergraduate housing, a reported living-expense allowance should not be mistaken for the price of a college room or meal plan. Obtain the current Ontario cost-of-attendance budget and an itemized program estimate before comparing schools.

Financial aid changes what a student pays but does not necessarily reduce what they must eventually repay. In 2024-25 reporting, all students in the measured aid group received some form of financial aid, while 93% had student loans. The reported average grant award to undergraduates was $6,401. Federal grants and loans depend on eligibility and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA; California and institutional aid have their own rules. Applicants using military education benefits should have the financial-aid office confirm how their particular benefit applies. An individualized aid offer is more useful than an average when estimating out-of-pocket cost.

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

Federal Work-Study should not be assumed to be available at Ontario merely because students can apply for federal financial aid. Work-Study is a need-based student-employment program with an awarded amount and qualifying jobs; it is not an automatic payment toward tuition.

Students seeking income during the BSN program should ask the financial-aid office whether Ontario participates in Federal Work-Study and, if so, how available positions are posted. Ordinary part-time employment is a separate option, but its hours need to fit around classes, skills work and clinical shifts. Likewise, clinical learning is part of nurse preparation, not necessarily paid employment. For career support, applicants can ask the campus what help it currently provides with résumés, interviews, job searches and the transition to licensure rather than treating those services as evidence of a particular employment outcome.
