Clover Park Technical College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Clover Park Technical College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Clover Park Technical College was $5,740, with $894 in required fees. Those figures describe published charges before financial aid and do not include the full cost of living and studying. Reported in-state and out-of-state tuition figures were the same, but students should verify the rate that applies to their enrollment and program.

• Full-time tuition and required fees: $10,988 using the reported 2025-26 figures.
• Reported part-time tuition charge: $124 per credit hour; additional fees may apply.
• Reported books-and-supplies estimate: $528.

Living costs are separate from the college bill. A reported room-and-board estimate of $17,703 represents an expense allowance, not a charge for a Clover Park residence hall or meal plan. Transportation, personal expenses and program-specific tools or supplies can raise a student's total budget. Because expense allowances and tuition figures may be compiled for different reporting purposes, students should use the college's current cost-of-attendance budget for a single-year estimate rather than add every published figure together without checking its basis.

Financial aid can change the amount a student ultimately pays. In 2024-25 reporting, 59% of students received financial aid and 5% had student loans; the average grant award reported for undergraduate recipients was $8,348. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Washington state aid, scholarships and applicable veteran or military education benefits. The FAFSA or Washington's state-aid application, as appropriate, is the starting point for an individual eligibility review. An average net price describes past groups of students after grant aid, not a quoted price for a new applicant.

What are the work-study opportunities at Clover Park Technical College?

Students can explore paid work while attending Clover Park Technical College, but a job is not automatically included with admission or a financial aid award. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job rather than money paid upfront against tuition.

Students interested in work-study should complete the appropriate financial aid application and ask the financial aid office about eligibility, available positions and hiring steps. Ordinary part-time jobs do not require a work-study award, while internships may be paid, unpaid or tied to program credit. The college's career-support offerings include résumé preparation, career-interest assistance, job listings and employer-facing services such as job fairs. Those services can help with a search, but they are not employment outcomes or job guarantees.
