Lakeview College of Nursing

What is the cost of studying for a year at Lakeview College of Nursing?

For 2024-25, Lakeview reported the same full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and mandatory fees together were $19,530 for that reporting year, before living expenses, books, transportation, and any additional program-specific costs.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $16,830.
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $2,700.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $510 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

The college does not provide undergraduate housing, so a student's rent, food, and transportation costs depend on personal arrangements. A separately reported books-and-supplies estimate is $2,865; applicants should check the current course list and whether uniforms, equipment, screenings, or clinical travel add to what they must budget. Estimates from different reporting periods should not be added together as though they were one official annual bill.

Published charges are not the same as net cost. In 2024-25 aid reporting, the average grant awarded to undergraduate recipients was $7,275, while 43% of students received loans. Those figures describe groups, not an aid package an individual applicant will receive. Eligible students can pursue federal aid by completing the FAFSA and should check Illinois grant eligibility and Lakeview scholarship criteria. The financial aid office can explain how grants, loans, and any military education benefits would apply to a particular student's cost of attendance.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lakeview College of Nursing?

Students considering paid work during a Lakeview nursing program should distinguish a regular part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Federal Work-Study, when awarded and supported by available positions, is need-based aid earned through employment; it is not a grant paid in advance or a guaranteed job.

Applicants can ask Lakeview's financial aid office whether Work-Study positions are available for their award year, how to apply, and whether jobs are on campus or with approved outside employers. They should also compare potential work hours with class and clinical schedules. Clinical learning required for a course is not automatically paid employment, and holding a job does not reduce tuition charges unless a separate benefit expressly applies.
