Grays Harbor College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Grays Harbor College?

Published tuition is only one part of the annual cost of attending Grays Harbor College. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $4,772 for Washington residents and $11,732 for out-of-state students. Reported required fees were $821 for either group, putting tuition and required fees at approximately $5,593 and $12,553, respectively, before other expenses.

• Washington-resident full-time tuition and required fees, 2025-26: approximately $5,593.
• Out-of-state full-time tuition and required fees, 2025-26: approximately $10,605.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,200.

Housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses can materially increase the amount a student needs for the year. The reported room-and-board figure of $13,380 is a budgeting measure, not a price for a Grays Harbor College residence hall. Students should use the college's current cost-of-attendance budget for their enrollment pattern and living arrangement rather than add figures from different reporting categories into a purported bill.

Financial aid can change the amount ultimately paid. In 2024-25 reporting, the average net price for students from families with annual incomes of $0-$48,000 was $2,129. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for a defined student group; it is not an individual price quote. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants, Washington state aid, scholarships, and loans through the applicable financial aid process. Reported aid receipt was 95%, while 4% of students received student loans; receiving aid does not necessarily mean borrowing.

What are the work-study opportunities at Grays Harbor College?

Grays Harbor College students can explore paid work alongside their studies, including positions for which Federal Work-Study funding may be available to eligible students. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an approved job; it is not an automatic payment to everyone who qualifies for aid, and a work-study award does not itself secure a position.

Students should complete the required financial aid application and ask the financial aid office how available work-study jobs are posted and filled. Ordinary part-time employment is a separate option, and an internship may be paid, unpaid, or tied to academic credit depending on the program.

The college also reports career support that includes individual and group planning, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, and employer contacts. These services can help students explore work and prepare applications, but their availability should not be interpreted as a verified job-placement outcome.
