Nelson University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Nelson University was $24,024, with $1,040 in required fees. The same reported amounts applied to in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Together, those two charges were $25,064 before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $24,024 for 2024-25.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,040 for 2024-25.
• Typical annual room charge: $3,270.
• Typical annual board charge: $4,330.

Adding the listed room and board charges to tuition and required fees produces $32,664, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: books, supplies, travel, and personal expenses would add to it. A student living elsewhere could have a different housing and food budget. Graduate tuition and fees are reported separately, so prospective graduate students should not use this undergraduate example.

Published charges also differ from net price, which accounts for grant and scholarship aid. For students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $18,396. That average is not an individual aid offer. Nelson reported that 99% of students received financial aid and 61% had student loans; receiving aid therefore did not necessarily eliminate borrowing. Eligible students may consider federal grants and loans, applicable state assistance, institutional scholarships, and military education benefits. The financial aid offer and current cost-of-attendance budget are the appropriate documents for estimating a particular student's out-of-pocket cost and borrowing.

What are the work-study opportunities at Nelson University?

Nelson students seeking paid work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from other campus or local part-time jobs. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students; an award, if offered, generally provides an opportunity to earn wages through a qualifying job rather than an upfront reduction in the tuition bill.

Applicants can ask the financial aid office whether they are eligible, how available positions are advertised, and whether an award limits the hours or earnings available. Students without Work-Study eligibility may still seek ordinary employment. Separately, reported career services include individual and group career counseling, résumé and interview assistance, job fairs, employer recruitment, job-search resources, and alumni networking. Those services can support a search for work or an internship, but they are not employment guarantees; Nelson does not report an internship requirement for every student.
