Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing

What is the cost of studying for a year at Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing?

For the reported 2024-25 academic year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $13,800 for both Virginia residents and out-of-state students, with $3,000 in required fees. The combined published tuition-and-fee amount was therefore $16,800 before living expenses, books, or aid.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $13,800.
• Required undergraduate fees: $3,000.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $460 per credit hour.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $3,650.
• Reported room-and-board estimate: $17,450; this is not a charge for college-operated housing.

Students should build an individual budget that also accounts for transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific supplies or clinical costs. The room-and-board figure is a living-cost estimate, not evidence that the college provides a residence hall or meal plan. Actual charges depend on enrollment intensity and current rates, while grants and scholarships can reduce what a student pays; loans defer payment rather than reduce the underlying price.

Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, applicable Virginia aid, institutional assistance, and military education benefits through the financial aid process. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $3,531, but an average award is not an individual aid estimate. About 41% of students in the reported measure had student loans. Applicants should compare their own aid offer with a program-specific cost-of-attendance budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing?

Students considering employment while enrolled should distinguish three things: a regular part-time job, paid work arranged through a financial aid program, and required clinical education. Clinical hours are part of nursing preparation and should not be assumed to be paid employment.

Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job rather than a grant paid automatically. Eligibility and job availability are separate questions. Applicants should ask the financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study appears in their aid package and where approved positions are posted. Those seeking nursing-related paid work should check that an employer's shifts will accommodate classes and clinical assignments.

The college's nursing focus also makes employer connections and job-search support relevant, but an educational affiliation is not a job guarantee. Students can ask what help is currently available with résumés, interviews, licensure-related job searches, and introductions to employers.
