Nebraska Indian Community College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Nebraska Indian Community College?

NICC's reported 2024-25 undergraduate tuition is $4,080 for a full-time academic year for both Nebraska residents and out-of-state students, with no separately reported required undergraduate fees. Part-time tuition is reported at $170 per credit. These are published charges, not a promise that every student will pay the same total or receive the same aid.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, in-state or out-of-state: $4,080 for the 2024-25 academic year.
• Reported required undergraduate fees: $0.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $170 per credit.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $400.
• Reported room-and-board estimate: $8,571; this is a budgeting figure, not a campus housing-and-meal-plan charge.

Students also need to budget for transportation, personal expenses, and any costs specific to their classes. NICC does not operate undergraduate housing, so off-campus living costs will depend on a student's actual arrangements. Adding the figures above without checking which costs apply would not produce a reliable individual bill.

Financial aid can substantially change what a student pays. Income-band net-price figures are averages after grant and scholarship aid and can differ sharply from published tuition, partly because net price includes living and other attendance expenses. An applicant should compare NICC's current individualized cost-of-attendance budget and aid offer rather than treat an average as a quote.

What are the work-study opportunities at Nebraska Indian Community College?

NICC reports career support that includes individual and group career planning, résumé preparation, career-interest testing, interview workshops, job fairs, and access to employer recruitment. Those services can help students explore work and prepare applications; they are not evidence that every student will receive a job offer.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package and offered in an available position, is earned through work rather than paid automatically like a grant. Eligibility and the number of positions can vary. Students seeking campus employment should ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study is offered for their award year, then ask how openings are posted and whether ordinary part-time jobs are available separately. An internship is not required of every NICC student.
