Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe

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

For 2024-25, Arizona College of Nursing-Tempe reported $24,797 in undergraduate tuition and $1,344 in required fees for a full-time academic year. Together, those published charges total $26,141. The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same; the part-time tuition charge was $928 per credit hour.

• Full-time tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $26,141.
• Average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000 annually: $32,566.
• Average net price for students from families earning $48,001-$75,000 annually: $36,830.

Tuition and fees are not the full cost of attendance. Students also need a budget for housing, food, books, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific supplies or clinical requirements. Net price is an average estimate after grant and scholarship aid that includes broader attendance costs; it can therefore be higher than the tuition-and-fees figure. An individual aid offer and living arrangement may produce a substantially different result.

In 2024-25, 79% of students received financial aid and 74% received student loans. The reported average grant award to undergraduate recipients was $7,142. Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, along with institutional aid and applicable military education benefits. Before accepting loans, request a term-by-term cost and aid estimate covering the entire BSN sequence, including periods when clinical schedules may limit paid work.

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

For nursing students, the distinction between paid work and required clinical training matters: clinical hours contribute to the degree but should not be treated as a paid job. Applicants who need earnings during school should ask the Tempe financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study is offered for their aid year and how available positions are assigned.

Federal Work-Study, when available, is generally awarded to eligible students with financial need; it is earned through a job rather than credited in full to a tuition bill at the start of a term. Ordinary part-time employment has different eligibility rules and may be available independently of an aid award. Students should compare proposed work hours with laboratory attendance and clinical shifts before relying on employment to cover recurring expenses.

For career preparation, ask what Tempe students can use for résumé review, interview practice, employer contacts, and nursing job-search support. Those services are distinct from a verified job-placement rate or a promise of employment.
