GateWay Community College

What is the cost of studying for a year at GateWay Community College?

For 2024-25, GateWay's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $2,328 for Arizona residents and $8,929 for out-of-state students. Reported required fees were $30 for each group. Residency classification therefore makes a substantial difference before living and course-specific expenses are considered.

• Arizona resident: $2,328 in reported annual full-time tuition, plus $30 in required fees.
• Out-of-state student: $8,929 in reported annual full-time tuition, plus $30 in required fees.
• Reported books and supplies: $984; actual spending varies by program and materials.
• Reported room-and-board budget: $12,240; this is a living-cost allowance, not a charge for a GateWay residence hall.

Transportation, personal expenses, and some program or course charges can raise a student's total budget. The figures above describe published cost components, not what every student pays. IPEDS 2024-25 income-band net-price figures, which account for grant aid for the students included in that measure, range from $12,007 for the lowest listed family-income group to $19,314 for the highest. An individual aid offer and living arrangement may produce a different result.

Financial aid can reduce out-of-pocket cost. IPEDS reports that 77% of students in its aid measure received financial aid, while 12% received student loans. Students considering grants, scholarships, or federal loans should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and check the college's financial aid instructions and deadlines.

What are the work-study opportunities at GateWay Community College?

GateWay students can look for part-time employment and career-development opportunities, but Federal Work-Study, an ordinary job, and an internship serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job; receiving an award does not itself place a student in a position.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their financial aid offer, and follow the college's process for finding eligible openings. Other campus or local jobs may have no Work-Study eligibility requirement. GateWay's career support includes individual and group career planning, résumé and interview preparation, career-interest exploration, job listings, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Those services can assist a search, but they are not verified job-placement or earnings outcomes.
