Galen College of Nursing-Louisville

What is the cost of studying for a year at Galen College of Nursing-Louisville?

The reported full-time undergraduate tuition figure for the 2024-25 academic year is $15,480. It is a useful starting point, but tuition alone is not the full cost of attending Galen College of Nursing-Louisville.

• Reported full-time tuition: $15,480 for the 2024-25 academic year.
• Reported annual room-and-board amount: $15,660; this should not be interpreted as the price of a Galen residence hall or meal plan.
• Average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000: $19,186 after applicable grant aid, using the reported income-band measure.

Students may also need to budget for books, supplies, transportation, and program-related requirements. A personalized cost-of-attendance estimate is especially important for nursing students whose clinical travel or schedule may limit paid work. The room-and-board figure is an expense estimate, not evidence that the college operates student housing.

Financial aid can change the amount a student ultimately pays. IPEDS 2024-25 figures indicate that 93% of students received some form of aid and 35% had student loans; the reported average undergraduate grant award was $7,104. Eligible students may qualify for federal grants and loans, state assistance, institutional aid, or military education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing the resulting award offer are necessary steps for understanding individual aid, which should be distinguished from an institution-wide average net price.

What are the work-study opportunities at Galen College of Nursing-Louisville?

Students seeking paid work should distinguish ordinary employment from Federal Work-Study, a need-based financial-aid program for eligible students. A FAFSA submission or a job application alone does not guarantee a Work-Study award or a position.

Galen reports career support that includes individual career counseling, résumé assistance, interview workshops, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can help students prepare for a nursing job search, but they are not employment outcomes. Students considering work during a clinical program should compare possible shifts with class, lab, and placement hours before accepting a position.
