Green River College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Green River College?

Green River College's tuition is only one part of the cost of attending. The following 2024-25 institutional figures separate published tuition and required fees from other expenses; they should not be added to figures from another year to create a purported current bill.

• Average full-time in-state undergraduate tuition: $4,205, plus $506 in required fees.
• Average full-time out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $4,757, plus $506 in required fees.
• Reported median books and supplies cost: $528.
• Reported median annual room and board amount: $19,473; this is a living-cost measure, not necessarily a charge paid to the college.

Transportation and personal expenses add to a student's budget, while the applicable tuition rate depends on residency, credit load, program, and enrollment category. As an illustration of costs after aid, the reported average net price was $12,433 for students from families earning no more than $48,000 annually. Net price is an average, not a quote: an individual award letter and living arrangement provide a better estimate of what that student will need to cover.

Eligible students can seek federal grants and loans, Washington state aid, and scholarships through the college's financial aid process. In the 2024-25 figures, 60% of students received financial aid and 6% had student loans. Those shares describe the reported student population; they do not establish an individual applicant's eligibility. Students should complete the applicable federal or Washington state aid application and check current college priority dates, especially for limited funds.

What are the work-study opportunities at Green River College?

Green River College students can look for part-time employment, including jobs that may be funded through Federal Work-Study for eligible aid recipients. Work-Study is a financial aid program in which students earn wages for hours worked; an award is not cash automatically applied to tuition, nor does it guarantee a position.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete their financial aid application, review any award offer, and follow the college's student-job application process. Other part-time jobs may be available without Work-Study eligibility. Separately, Green River's career services include individual and group career planning, résumé help, job listings, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Those services can support a search for work or an internship, but an internship is not required of every student and employment is not assured.
