The most useful price for a Compu-Med applicant is a program-specific, written cost estimate, because tuition is only one part of what attending can cost. The 2024-25 IPEDS-based figures also report an average net price of $49,299 for each of several lower- and middle-income bands. That unusually repeated amount warrants checking against the school's published charges and the underlying federal figures before using it as a personal budget.
In the same 2024-25 aid figures, the average grant award from federal, state, local, institutional, and other sources was $3,113. An average award is not an offer to an individual applicant. Students should compare their own aid letter with the charges for the same program and time period rather than combining an annual expense estimate with a shorter program's tuition.
Federal Work-Study, if offered to an eligible student, is a paid-job arrangement rather than a grant credited automatically against tuition. Ordinary part-time employment and a program's clinical placement are different: one provides wages, while the other may be an academic requirement.
Students who need to work while enrolled should ask the financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study appears in their award and, if so, how jobs are assigned and paid. They should also compare class and required training hours with an employer's schedule. The 2024-25 figures show that 100% of students received some form of financial aid and 25% used student loans; neither figure establishes that a particular student will receive a work-study position.
