Navajo Technical University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Navajo Technical University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $1,848 for both New Mexico residents and out-of-state students, with $650 in required fees. Together, that is $2,498 in published annual tuition and required fees - not a complete cost of attendance. Reported part-time undergraduate tuition was $77 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

The same reporting lists typical annual room and board charges totaling $5,640 and books and supplies at $2,600. Adding those amounts to undergraduate tuition and required fees yields $10,738, but that subtotal excludes transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs. It should not be mistaken for an official all-inclusive budget. Graduate tuition and fee schedules differ from undergraduate charges.

Net price is a different measure: it estimates cost after grant and scholarship aid for students in a given income group. The reported average net price for families earning $0-$48,000 was $4,458; for those earning $48,001-$75,000, it was $5,806. Individual bills can differ substantially because aid eligibility, enrollment intensity, living arrangements, and course expenses vary.

Financial aid is important to the comparison. IPEDS reports that 96% of students received financial aid and that the average grant award was $8,332. It reports 0% receiving student loans; that observation should not be read as a promise that a particular student will need no borrowing. Applicants seeking aid should complete the FAFSA and check NTU's financial aid instructions for institutional scholarships, applicable state programs, documentation requirements, and deadlines.

What are the work-study opportunities at Navajo Technical University?

Students considering part-time work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary campus job. Work-Study, when awarded, is need-based financial aid that generally pays wages for work performed; it is not an automatic reduction of the tuition bill or a guarantee of a position.

Ask NTU's financial aid office whether Work-Study is included in an individual award and how eligible students find openings. For other campus employment, hiring terms and availability are set by the employer. Students seeking career-related experience should also ask their academic program about internships, practicums, or project work - and whether any such experience is required for graduation.

For job-search support, prospective students can ask which office currently offers résumé review, interview preparation, career advising, or employer connections. Those services should be evaluated separately from claims about placement or earnings: help preparing an application does not establish that a graduate received a job offer.
