Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development

What is the cost of studying for a year at Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $5,320 for both in-state and out-of-state students, with $600 in required fees. Those published charges are a starting point, not the full annual cost of attendance.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $5,920 for 2024-25.
• Typical academic-year room charge: $6,232.
• Typical academic-year board charge: $7,364.

Together, those listed tuition, fee, room, and board charges total $19,516. That is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: books, art or production supplies, transportation, and personal expenses may add substantially to an individual budget. Students living off campus will have different housing and food costs.

Financial aid changes what a student ultimately pays. Reported 2024-25 figures show financial aid receipt among the measured students at 100% and an average grant award of $13,705; an average is not an individual award. Reported average net prices also vary by family income: $11,718 for the lowest reported income band and $12,454 for the next band. Net price reflects estimated costs after grant aid under the applicable reporting definition, rather than a universal bill.

Eligible students can investigate federal grants, applicable state aid, and IAIA scholarships through the financial aid process. The reported share receiving student loans was 0%, but that statistic alone does not establish an individual student's borrowing eligibility or future debt. A personalized aid offer and cost-of-attendance budget are more useful than subtracting an average grant from the published charges.

What are the work-study opportunities at Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development?

IAIA reports career support that includes individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking. These are services students may use; they are not measures of job placement or guarantees of employment.

The institution also reports an internship requirement. Applicants should ask their intended program how it defines an internship, when it occurs, and whether it is paid. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is different from a required internship: it is need-based student employment earned through work, not grant money credited automatically to a bill. Students considering a campus job should ask financial aid about eligibility and ask the hiring office how positions are advertised.
