Nightingale College's reported full-time tuition for the 2024-25 academic year was $15,480. Tuition is only one part of the amount a student may need to budget, particularly when required in-person learning involves travel.
Net price is an average, not a quoted bill, and it can include living and other attendance expenses beyond tuition. Students should obtain a program-specific cost-of-attendance estimate that separates tuition, mandatory charges, books and equipment, transportation, and personal expenses. They should also check how the estimate handles clinical travel and whether tuition is billed by term or another unit.
Financial aid can reduce upfront costs without necessarily reducing what a student eventually repays. In the 2024-25 reporting data, 94% of students received financial aid and 78% used student loans. Applicants should complete the FAFSA if they want to be considered for eligible federal aid, then compare grants and scholarships separately from loans in their individual aid offers. Military education benefits may be relevant to eligible students, but eligibility and payment depend on the benefit and approved program.
Students may be able to work while enrolled, but paid work must fit around nursing coursework and required in-person experiences. Nightingale's online instruction should not be mistaken for a fully self-paced schedule.
Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program that funds eligible part-time jobs; it is not the same as an ordinary off-campus job or a required clinical placement. Applicants interested in it should ask the financial aid office whether it is offered for their program and term, whether their aid package includes an award, and how available positions are advertised. An award, if offered, generally represents wages earned through work rather than money automatically deducted from a tuition bill.
The college's career counseling, résumé help, and employer events may also assist with a job search, but those services do not establish that a student employment position will be available.
