Great Northern University

• 2025-26 full-time undergraduate tuition: $18,900 for in-state or out-of-state students.
• 2025-26 separately reported required fees: $0.
• 2025-26 part-time undergraduate tuition: $610 per credit.
• Separately reported annual tuition figure: $18,900; confirm the academic year before using it in a budget.

Tuition is not the full cost of attendance. Housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses may add substantially to a student's budget, and the amount depends on living arrangements. For students in families with annual income of $48,001-$75,000, a reported average net price was $22,160. Net price reflects costs after applicable grant aid for a particular reporting group; it is not a quote for an individual applicant.

Financial assistance may include grants, scholarships, loans, and eligible military education benefits. In 2024-25 reporting, 40% of students received financial aid and 25% had student loans. The reported average grant award from federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources was $5,125. Because those are averages across different recipients, applicants should use an individualized aid offer and cost-of-attendance budget to compare what they would actually need to pay or borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Great Northern University?

Student employment can help with expenses, but a part-time job, a Federal Work-Study award, and an academic internship are not the same thing. Federal Work-Study, where offered, is need-based aid earned through eligible work; an award is not money paid automatically at the start of a term.

Applicants interested in employment should ask Great Northern University's financial aid office whether they can be considered for Federal Work-Study and how positions are advertised. They should also distinguish campus jobs from internships that carry course credit or meet a program requirement. For a student balancing classes and work, the number and timing of available shifts matter as much as the hourly wage.
