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

The amount a student pays to attend Laurus College depends on the program, its length, required materials, and the student's aid eligibility. A useful written estimate should separate tuition and mandatory fees from books, software or equipment, transportation, and living expenses. It should also state the academic year or enrollment period covered.

For the 2024-25 IPEDS reporting cycle, the reported average net price was $22,510 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $23,932 for those from families earning $48,001-$75,000. Net price estimates reflect costs after grant or scholarship aid for the students represented; they are not a tuition quote or a promise of what a new applicant will pay. For the same reporting cycle, 80% of students received financial aid and 65% had student loans. Borrowed money can reduce an immediate bill but must generally be repaid.

Eligible students may be able to use federal grants and loans or qualifying military education benefits. Request a program-specific cost-of-attendance estimate and aid offer that shows grants separately from loans, then compare the remaining cost across the full time needed to finish - not just the first payment period.

What are the work-study opportunities at Laurus College?

Students interested in earning money while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program, and an award would not itself guarantee a position; wages are generally earned as the student works.

Ask Laurus's financial aid office whether Work-Study positions are available to students in your program and delivery format, how positions are posted, and whether a financial aid application is required. A separately arranged job or internship may offer experience or income, but it should not be counted as part of a financial aid offer unless the college identifies it as such.
